Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onion, celery, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and thyme; cook 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in cooked quinoa, cranberries, and walnuts. Bake at 350 degrees in a greased baking dish about 10 minutes until heated through.
