Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet (do not pierce) and bake 30 to 40 minutes. Lightly squeeze the potatoes: if they're slightly soft, they're done. let cool.

Before you start on the stuffing, get your spices ready: In a small bowl combine: 1 heaped tsp of curry 1/2 heaped tsp of spanish paprika 1/2 tsp of ground ginger 1/2 tsp of ground coriander 3/4 tsp of salt 1/2 tsp of coarsely ground black pepper 1 tsp of mixed, minced dried herbs: rosemary, basil, parsley, sage, thyme, lemon balm, lavender... Cook 3 cups of wild rice according to instructions. While the rice is cooking, melt about 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet on low heat. add: 3 stalks of chopped celery 1 package of fresh, chopped mushrooms (whichever kind you like) 1 large chopped onion saute lightly, until the veggies look glassy. Pour the cooked rice into a large bowl and pour the vegetables over the rice. Crack 2 eggs over the mixture, and then stir everything together gently. Add a handful each of chopped, dried dates, apricots and figs, and stir them in as well. To loosen the rice mixture and combine it more evenly, add a little coconut oil, while combining the ingredients. Thoroughly stir in the mixture of spices, and stuff your turkey. Enjoy!
