Wild Rice And Cornbread Stuffing Recipe

Wild Rice and Cornbread Stuffing Recipe
Jess Kapadia•

Thanksgiving is a pretty gluten-free-friendly holiday, all things considered — the turkey's safe, as long as you've used a reputable stock to baste it, potatoes are good, veggies are good...aaand we come to the stuffing. So tempting. So moist and chewy, so crisp and savory. So perfect on a perfect bite of turkey, cranberry, veggies and potato all together. And now you can have it.

Bake these in individual muffin tins for an impressive "stuffin' muffin" presentation sure to trump the turkey costume your grandma stuffed her poodle into. This trick works for lots of other beloved dishes, too. The muffin tin thing, not the poodle thing.
