will not be interested in me leaving my current organization.
One option is to contact some research group and express your interest in volunteering some of your time. Be open about your desire to gain some experience and get a feel of what it is like to do research, and ultimately get a recommendation letter. My sister did that and it worked really well for her.
P.S. One of the worst parts of application process.
