You  just gotta have stuffing mix for the holidays.  This one is simple and unique and will help you fight the holidays temptations. 

INGREDIENTS

• 1.25 cups wild rice
• 2.5  cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon grape seed oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons fresh chopped sage
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 apple, cored and diced
• ½ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1.  Place the wild rice and broth in a large saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil.  Then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover for 35-40 minutes, cooking until the broth is completely absorbed.
2. While the rice is cooking, place the grape seed oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat and saute the onion until tender.  This will take about 8 minutes. Add in the mushrooms, sage, thyme, and salt and saute another 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
3. Now combine the cooked rice and mushroom mixture, and stir in the apple and walnuts, if using. Adjust any seasoning to taste, and serve warm
