Leslie's Broccoli, Wild Rice, and Mushroom Stuffing

I have never met Leslie but I'd like to thank her! I found this on another web site and after trying it I think it's the only way I'll make stuffing again. If you'd like to try something a bit different and really good give this one a try.

• Ready In: 1 hr 30 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  uncooked wild rice
• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 2  cups  chopped fresh broccoli
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1 1⁄2 cups  sliced mushrooms
• 1  cup  chopped onion
• 1 (16 ounce) package herb seasoned stuffing mix
• 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1⁄2 cup  sliced almonds (optional)

Directions

1. Bring rice and 1 1/2 cups water to boil in a pot. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45 minutes.
2. Place broccoli in a pot with enough water to cover, and boil 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Remove from heat, and drain.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
4. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the mushrooms and onion until tender. Mix in cooked rice, cooked broccoli, stuffing mix, broth, and almonds.
5. Transfer to the prepared baking dish (or use to stuff turkey just before roasting).
6. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
