Ingredients
The ingredients for this delicious Mushroom and Wild Rice Dressing include: unsalted butter, Cremini mushrooms, shallots, celery, garlic, dried thyme, cooked white rice, cooked wild rice, chicken broth, chopped green onions, dry bread crumbs, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
I know that this seems like a lot, but it really does come together quickly.
Making the Mushroom and Wild Rice Dressing
I started by sautéing the mushrooms in melted butter over medium-high heat until they were soft and lightly caramelized. This took 3 to 4 minutes.
Next, I added the shallots, celery, garlic, and thyme and cooked the mixture until the shallots were soft, about 5 minutes.
I continued cooking the mushroom mixture over medium-high heat until most of the liquid had evaporated.
At this point, I added the white rice, wild rice, chopped green onions, and chicken broth. I stirred the mixture to ensure that everything was well combined.
Finally, I mixed in the bread crumbs and added some salt and pepper to taste. For my taste, it took about ¼ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
I used part of the Mushroom Wild Rice Dressing to stuff a turkey breast (check out the Turkey Roulade) and put the rest into a casserole dish.
I baked it at 350°F for about 30 minutes until it was heated through. The Mushroom and Wild Rice Dressing had an amazing flavor and texture. You should try it. Yum!

Absolutely delicious! I have never been a fan of bread stuffing but I certainly devoured (as did my children) this wild rice/mushroom dish this Thanksgiving. This will be a staple at our Thanksgiving table from now on.

Marilyne,
I'm not a fan of bread stuffing either. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the mushroom and wild rice dressing!
