2 ½ cups uncooked wild rice

1 pound ground pork sausage

2 ½ cups chopped onions

2 cups chopped celery

2 ½ cups chopped mushrooms

1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme

1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary

Continue cooking about 2 minutes, until mushrooms are lightly browned. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, mix the sausage mixture with the cooked rice, whole wheat bread, apples, and raisins. Gradually blend in chicken broth until mixture is moistened.

Transfer mixture to a large baking dish. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.
