Cook the wild rice in chicken stock according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and walnuts. Sauté them in butter over medium heat until fragrant and golden.
Mix the sautéed mixture with the cooked wild rice, dried cranberries, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme to create the stuffing.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Stuff each quail with the wild rice mixture and secure the openings with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
Place the stuffed quails in a roasting pan. Brush them with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the quails in the oven for 30-35 minutes, basting occasionally with the juices from the pan, until the skin is golden and crispy.
Let the quails rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with the remaining wild rice mixture on the side.
