1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cup wild rice, uncooked, rinsed
1/2 cup celery, chopped
5 1/2 cup water
1 can chicken broth (14 oz)
1 each bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
1 cup red apple, unpeeled, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
In heavy 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, heat butter. Add wild rice and celery. Saute until lightly browned. Add water, broth, bay leaf, salt, oregano, and pepper to saucepan. Heat to boiling; cover and cook over low heat 25 minutes. Stir white rice into wild rice; cook, covered, until rice is tender - about 20 minutes longer. Fold in apple and green onions. Set stuffing aside just until cool enough to stuff neck and body cavities of turkey. Or spoon into greased 2 1/2-quart casserole; cover and bake at 325'F about 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Makes enough for 12 to 14 lb turkey.
