Tater Tot And Wild Rice Hot Dish Casserole

• 1 cup wild rice prepared, see instructions below
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1/2 pound turkey sausage
• 1 can chicken broth
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 2 celery stalks chopped
• 1/2 white onion chopped
• 1 bag tater tots large of
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional

1. Wash the wild rice thoroughly to eliminate any chaff
2. In a pot, soften the rice (less than 2 parts water, 1 part rice), bringing rice to a boil for 5 minutes, then simmering on low-medium for 20 minutes (You don't want the rice to have split yet or to be mushy in consistency, so watch it carefully)
3. Brown the meats, drain grease
4. Brown the celery and onion (I use a little of the grease from the sausage)
5. Combine the meats, celery and onion, rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom and pour into a casserole dish (You're going to want about an inch and half depth of casserole, so make sure it's a big dish)
6. Bake covered at 350 for 1 1/2 hours
7. Remove from oven, top with tater tots and bake for another 30 minutes, covered
8. Remove from oven and add mozzarella and bake uncovered for 10 minutes
