Christmas Garlic Cranberry Stuffing

Ingredients:

1 loaf gluten free bread - cubed

1 cup cooked brown wild rice
 
1 celery stalk - diced

1 carrot - peeled and diced

1/4 cup dried cranberries

3 sprigs of parsley - minced
 
1 clove of garlic - minced

1/2 white onion - diced

1 tbsp Italian Seasoning

1 cup turkey drippings or chicken stock (you my substitute with vegetable stock for vegetarians and vegans)

1 tbsp butter or margarine

Turn on the stove to medium heat. In a large pot melt the butter and sautee the onions, carrots and celery till soft. Add the cranberries and rice, mixing well. Add the stock, italian seasoning and parsley. Bring to a simmer while stirring. Add cubed bread and continue to stir until the stuffing has formed. Shut heat off and cover the pot with a lid. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and Salt & Pepper to taste.

Serve with turkey, tofurky or whatever floats your boat. I can guarantee this stuffing to be super yummy.
