How to Make Rice Stuffing For Turkey

  1. Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  3. While the rice is cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Gently stuff the turkey cavity with the rice mixture just before roasting. Do not overstuff!
