   In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients.  Use
   to stuff a 12 to 14 lb. turkey.  Or, prepare HALF the
   recipe for a 4 to 5 lb. chicken, duck, goose or 3 game
   hens. *Cooked wild rice can be substituted for all or
   part of the long grain
   rice. To Prepare Cornish Hens: Prepare HALF the above
   recipe. Clean and stuff 2 or 3 hens with the stuffing.
   Melt about 1/2 cube butter.  Put the hens in a small
   roasting pan or baking dish.  Preheat the oven to 375
   degrees.  Pour butter over top of hens.  Bake for 1 to
   1 1/4 hours at 375 degrees, or until done to your
   liking, basting frequently with butter/juices.  Serve
   hot with fresh green vegetables.
