Wild Rice and Kale Turkey Stuffing
2 ½ lbs French Bread, cubed

½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 lb Cremini or Portobello Mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 Large Red Onion, diced
4 Ribs of Celery, diced
2 Tablespoons Rubbed Sage
4 Cloves or 4 teaspoons Minced Garlic
1 Quart Chicken Broth
¼ Lb Chopped Kale
8 oz Cooked Wild Rice

If bread cubes are not stale, you may need to toast them in the oven at 275º F for 25 minutes. Meanwhile in a large pot, sautée mushrooms, celery and onion over medium heat until onion is translucent and most of the liquid that the mushrooms released has evaporated - about 15 minutes.

Add sage and garlic and continue to cook for 5 minutes until mushrooms get golden brown. Add broth, bread, kale and cooked wild rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, bake in a casserole dish at 350 ºF for 30 minutes until beautifully browned and crispy.
