No Turkey : Thanksgiving

It’s Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving! And I am finishing up my Thanksgiving menu. No Turkey is key at our house. My hubby is allergic to Turkey and gives him a migraine. I am so glad Turkeys are Not on the menu….

• 1 onion chopped
• 2 ribs celery , chopped
• 1 can of condensed mushroom soup
• 1 can mushroom steams

2. Sprinkle inside and outside of hens with salt and pepper. Stuff with rice mixture. Place on a rack in a greased shallow roasting pan; cover with foil.
