“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.” - by ISADORE

Directions

Place the quinoa and water in a large, microwave-safe bowl; cover. Cook on HIGH for 20 minutes.
Stir the onion, mushrooms, apples, pine nuts, raisins, garlic, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning in with the quinoa.
Pack lightly into uncooked turkey. Roast turkey as directed.

One batch makes enough to fit in a smaller bird plus a 9 by 9 pan."
