Steps:
- Chop the challah bread into 1/2-inch cubes to make 16 cups. Stale bread works best for stuffing-if yours is fresh, spread out the cubes on baking sheet and dry in a 300 degrees F oven, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth; bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the wild rice as the label directs. Beat the eggs and parsley in a large bowl; stir in the bread cubes, the vegetable-broth mixture, the prepared rice and the mushrooms. Stir in the raisins.
- Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-to-4-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, about 20 more minutes.
WILD RICE WITH MUSHROOMS
In Wisconsin, wild rice is truly wild, not cultivated as in other states, the tassels rising and swaying over rivers, lakes and floodplains come late August and September. Called manoomin by the local Chippewa, it is a protected crop that can be harvested only by state residents holding a valid license. And only by hand, as the Chippewa have always done, using wooden flails gently (the grains should fall from the stalk without great effort) from canoes propelled by paddles or push poles. Shellie Holmes of Rhinelander, Wis., who shares her recipe here, likes to cook wild rice just until it pops open. This is a break with her family's tradition, which favored a chewier texture and did not allow popping. "Do not mix with other rice," she urged, lest you lose the flavor of the wild.

Steps:
- Bring 5 cups water to a boil. Stir in rice, then reduce heat so liquid is just simmering. Cover and cook until grains just begin to pop, about 40 minutes. Drain excess liquid from rice and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their liquid and are golden brown, about 8 minutes; remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining butter and mushrooms.
- Return all the mushrooms to the skillet and season with the salt and pepper, to taste. Very carefully add sherry to deglaze the pan, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated but mushrooms are still moist.
- Mix mushrooms into prepared rice and season again with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Use a variety of wild mushrooms. This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor. Some good choices include chanterelles, morels, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the stuffing. This will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Use a good quality wild rice. Wild rice has a nutty flavor that pairs well with the mushrooms. Look for wild rice that is plump and free of debris.
- Don't overcook the wild rice. Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Add some fresh herbs to the stuffing. This will brighten up the flavor and make it more aromatic. Some good choices include parsley, sage, and thyme.
- Stuff the turkey or chicken loosely. This will allow the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
- Bake the turkey or chicken at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes. This will help to brown the skin and seal in the juices.
- Reduce the temperature and continue to cook the turkey or chicken until it is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Wild rice stuffing with wild mushrooms is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a stuffing that will be the star of your holiday meal.
