A wholesome twist on a traditional Thanksgiving side, this dish uses farro, also known as emmer wheat, an Italian grain that is high in fiber, magnesium, and vitamins A, B, C, and E. Other grains, such as pearl barley, can be used instead; cook them according to package instructions.

2 cups farro
2 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower

4 celery stalks, minced
2 ounces smoked country ham, diced (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage, plus more leaves for garnish
