Wild Rice and Corn Stuffing

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8; makes about 7 cups (enough for one 18-pound turkey)

Ingredients

2 cups wild rice
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons corn or vegetable oil
2 small red onions, cut into thin rounds
3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
2 fresh serrano or jalapeño chiles, thinly sliced
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring 5 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add the rice and 1 tablespoon salt. Cover; reduce heat. Cook the rice until al dente, 35 to 40 minutes (not all the water will be absorbed). Drain well.

    Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and garlic; cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chiles; cook 30 seconds.

    Step 3

    Stir the onion mixture, corn, pepper, and lime juice into the rice; season with salt. Serve, or immediately pack loosely in a turkey cavity, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing registers 165°F.
