Servings: persons

1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
1 cup Chopped Carrots
1 cup Chopped Onion
1 cup Chopped Celery
4 cloves Minced Garlic
1/2 teaspoons Celery Seeds
1 teaspoon Sea Salt (if You Cooked The Quinoa In Broth Instead Of Water, May Need Less Salt)
1/2 teaspoons Pepper
1- 1/2 cup Chopped Granny Smith Apples
1- 1/2 cup Baby Spinach, Chopped Coarsely
1 cup Chopped Walnuts
3 cups Cooked Quinoa (I Cook It In Vegetable Broth Instead Of Water; Follow Package Instructions)

1
In a large non-stick ceramic pan over medium heat, saute the carrots, onions, and celery in the coconut oil until soft and light brown.
2
Add the garlic for the last two minutes of sauteing.
3
Sprinkle with salt (use less if you cooked the quinoa in broth), celery seeds, and pepper.
4
You can actually stuff your turkey with quinoa stuffing, but I recommend cooking and serving them separately.
5
Turkeys dont cook evenly when they are stuffed, so youll either end up with an under-cooked bird, or one that is dried out (we wouldnt want to recreate that scene from the Christmas Vacation movie).
6
To bake your quinoa stuffing, preheat the oven to 375 F. Stir together the warm vegetables, freshly cut apples, spinach, walnuts and quinoa in a large bowl, then pour the mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish.
7
Bake for about 15 minutes, just to get the top a little crispy.
8
Serve warm and enjoy!
9
If you make the stuffing ahead of time, dont bake it until right before you are ready to serve.
10
If your stuffing is cold youll need to cook it longer than 15 minutes (try 30).
11
You may want to add the apples just for the last 10 minutes of baking!
12
Enjoy and be thankful!
