Fabulous Wild Rice Stuffing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry wild rice, prepared
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 (16 ounce) bag seasoned bread crumbs or (16 ounce) bag seasoned stuffing mix
1 (16 ounce) pork sausage (I use Jimmy Dean regular)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup melted butter
garlic powder
thyme
poultry seasoning
sage

Preparation

Mix bread crumbs and wild rice in a large bowl.
Saute celery and onions in butter; add to crumbs.
Fry sausage; add to crumbs.
Pour chicken broth and melted butter over all and mix thoroughly.
Season to taste (this is my favorite part :) with garlic, thyme, poultry seasoning and sage.
Stuff bird cavity loosely and roast; bake the rest in a casserole dish at 350oF for 30 to 45 minutes.
You can baste it with pan drippings if you wish; I love to get the sort of crunchy crust this produces.
