Sausage and Wild Rice Stuffing

This one has become a tradition at our house.

I made this for our church Thanksgiving dinner last night - a trial run to see if I wanted to do it for our family on Thursday. My sister and I both approved, so I will make it again.
Very good!

I'm not a fan of nuts in dressing, so I substitute water chestnuts. They have a rather unobtrusive flavor, but maintain the crunchy texture.

You could leave the nuts out completely and it wouldn't hurt anything. I like to add some chopped apple to my stuffing.

You'd lose the crisp or the crunch or whatever you want to call it. Apples, celery, any fruit or veggie you can think of in stuffing, will go soft as the turkey cooks. I like the nutty texture...but not the nutty flavor. That's why I opt for the water chestnuts. They maintain the firm, crisp texture like a nut...but have virtually no taste.
