Wild Rice Stuffing with Cranberries and Toasted Pecans
Provided by Grocery Shopping Network

2 cups homemade chicken broth or low-sodium canned broth
1 cup packaged wild-rice blend
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 small celery stalk, finely diced (1/4 cup)
1/4 cup pecans, toasted
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley leaves
2 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until rice is fully cooked, 40 to 45 minutes. Turn out rice into a medium microwave-safe bowl and fluff with a fork.

Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium skillet. Add onion and celery, and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add to rice. Stir in pecans, cranberries, parsley and thyme; toss to coat.

To reheat stuffing in microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and heat in microwave on high power until very hot, 2 to 4 minutes. (Alternatively, place in a medium saucepan, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and reheat on stovetop.)
