Quinoa Stuffing
Rinse quinoa (or wild rice) two to three times — until water runs clear.
In a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until all water is absorbed, stirring frequently. Do not burn. Cook quinoa for about 15 minutes. (If you're using wild rice, cook it for about 30 minutes.)
In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion, mushrooms, apple, cranberries and celery. Stir and heat through until tender. Add the salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Continue to stir and cook slowly until fragrant, about 10 minutes total.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa (or rice), fruit-vegetable mixture and chicken broth. Use to stuff turkey. Or bake in a covered dish coated with cooking spray until warmed through (about 20 minutes). Serve garnished with a sprinkle of toasted almonds.
