While Bread dressing is common for Thanksgiving, for a little variety and a traditional dish, try Wild Rice dressing instead. It takes a little time but is well worth the effort.

    To make life a little less hectic on Thanksgiving day, I cook the wild rice the weekend before and store in a gallon size ziploc bag in the refrigerator.

    The day of Thanksgiving I sauteed the vegetables and seasoning and mix in the wild rice. I then place in a large casserole dish and put in the oven for 30 minutes at 350F.
