INSTRUCTIONS
Bring 3 cups water, wild rice and 1/2 tsp salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 55 minutes. Cool rice completely. Set aside. Combine cranberries and remaining 1 tbsp water in heavy small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until cranberries just begin to soften, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and cook over high heat until sugar is dissolved and cranberries are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate and refrigerate until chilled. Steam carrots until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Rinse carrot with cold water to cool. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice and garlic to blend in small bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Combine rice, carrot, turkey, celery, parsley, onion and raisins in large bowl. Pour dressing over. Add cranberries and toss thoroughly. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Line 6 plates with lettuce leaves. Divide salad among plates and serve.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
