Quinoa, a delicious and nutritious whole grain, is used to make a light and tasty turkey stuffing. I prefer to bake this stuffing in the bird, but it can be baked separately in another baking dish and basted with the turkey juice.
Tried this as a wheat-free stuffing. I just ate my second serving. It has great flavor. Though it isn't like normal stuffing it is a great side that is light and nutritious. I made two changes- craisins instead of raisins and I added some butter b/c it is stuffing. I am excited to try the batch that comes out of the bird. One batch makes enough to fit in a smaller bird plus a 9 by 9 pan.

This was pretty good, but it had a flavor that I don't like, I think it was the apple; I used one small granny smith apple because I wasn't sure if I would like it, and I'm glad I didn't use more. I cooked this entirely in the stove top. First, I sauteed all of the veggies briefly (I also added a small stalk of celery). I think I chopped the mushrooms too big, next time I would chop finely. I used pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts, and I did half raisin/half dried cranberry. I used veggie broth instead of water. With some modifications, I would serve this at Thanksgiving alongside a Tofurkey. :)

This recipe is delicious. Like another reviewer, I cooked the quinoa in chicken broth. I combined all the ingredients, cooked it in the crock pot and served it as a side dish with some chicken. I would definitely make this again.
Very Good!!!! My family really liked it! Thanks for the healthy alternative! I will definately make it again!
As I wasn't roasting a turkey, I cooked the quinoa in chicken stock, then added the other ingredients (omitted the salt because of all the salt in the stock) and just microwaved it for an extra 5 minutes or so. Tastes great! Can't believe how healthy it is, and would happily serve this to guests.

The recipe was large enough to stuff the Thanksgiving turkey and bake as a birdless casserole dish. I'm a big fan of quinoa and this recipe didn't disappoint. For the cordless variety, I would add turkey drippings to the casserole when I went in to baste the turkey.

Absolutely delicious! I like a lot of flavor in my food so I will add more poultry seasoning and possibly some craisins, too.
I love this recipe. I did a few twists to it. Instead of water I added unsalted chicken broth and also added salary. Instead of pine nuts, I used pecan instead (just so I don’t need to go and shop for pine nuts) it turns out to be just delicious. Light and slightly sweet-savoury taste to the turkey instead of the traditional stuffing!
