Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 cups cooked wild rice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 2-quart baking dish. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl.

Excellent alternative to bread stuffing. A pleasant blend of citrus that paired well with bribe based roast turkey. I will gladly make this again. BONUS can be made ahead and simply reheated for dinner.
