This recipe for Wild Rice and Water Chestnut Stuffing with Sausage is the second Thanksgiving stuffing recipe shared by Chef Philip Jones, the 6th-generation president of Jones Dairy Farm.
For this stuffing that’s anything but traditional, chef adds the wholesome flavor of all-natural pork sausage to a base of wild rice. The result is a savory, delicious, unique, gluten-free stuffing or side dish.
