Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 celery stalk, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon
3 links turkey Italian sausage
3 ounces dry wild rice
½ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup toasted chopped hazelnuts
2 pieces whole-wheat sandwich bread
Instructions
Cook rice according to package, it should take about 60 minutes to cook.
Toast slices of bread, and then pulse in a food processor until they resemble coarse bread crumbs.
In a large cast-iron skillet, melt butter over a medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, garlic and salt. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high and brown turkey sausage, crumbling as it browns. If needed, add a tablespoon or so of olive oil to help the process along.
Add veggies back into turkey along with cooked rice, cranberries, toasted hazelnuts and breadcrumbs. Cook for another, 2-3 minutes. Serve warm
