I grilled a 12lb turkey with this pilaf stuffed inside. I should have heeded the reviews that said the rice didn't cook completely in the bird, because even after nearly 3 hours much of the rice was still crispy. The rice had good flavor, though, and didn't dry the turkey out too much as stuffings tend to do. Cashews are my favorite nut; next time I would lightly toast them prior to adding to the mix.

Loved this dish. I will be cooking wild rice more often. Added craisins to it too. Very tasty.

Really, really good and healthy, too. We loved this especially because we love cashews. I didn't use rosemary (didn't have any) so I subbed thyme. The kids were initially skeptical of the wild rice, but ended up eating all of it. Will use as a regular side dish at our house.

EXCELLENT!! 6 STARS!! I made a similar stuffing years ago for Thanksgiving dinner and it became an instant favorite. One very nice way to modify this is to add a handful of craisins and substitute the cashews for chopped pecans. I'm big fan of "sneaking" additional nutritional points into foods, so add some finely chopped spinach to the mix and no one will know!

wonderful, I made this for Thanksgiving since my guests couldn't have wheat. It was very tasty. I used it as a side dish and did find that I had to cook the rice for a LOOONG time, about an hour and 15 min, but I'm also at a very high elevation. I will make it again.

This was a big hit.... Delicious! I made it as a side dish in place of traditional stuffing with a turkey dinner.

I love this but it never cooks all the way. I found that the only way for it to be completely done is when you add the rice, follow the timing on the back of the rice package instead. Great taste! I've made it as a side and as a duck stuffing. (even in the duck it was undercooked)
