This wild rice filling, like a festive pilaf, is bursting with flavor, with sweet-tart notes of dried cranberries, dried apricots, and crispy toasted pecans. Toss wild rice with sautéed onions, celery, and thyme, add dried fruits and nuts, and bake in the oven (separate from the bird) to meld the flavors. Serve as a side dish with roasted turkey, chicken, or goose.
