How to Make Herbed Bread Stuffing

This thanksgiving classic gets a healthier makeover with a few small adjustments. First, we use heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, and stick with just 2 tablespoons. Low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock and salt-free poultry seasoning keep the sodium down, and fresh herbs add a nice punch of flavor. Finally, to build your diabetes-friendly Thanksgiving plate, be sure to watch your portion sizes! To make things easier, you can prepare everything a day in advance, and bake just before serving.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Place olive oil in large sauté pan. Add celery and onion and sauté until softened, approximately 3-5 minutes. Add apple and poultry seasoning. Toss well. Add stock and simmer 2-3 minutes. Add bread cubes and fresh herbs and toss well. Set aside to cool before stuffing poultry or pork.
  2. Place in an ovenproof casserole. Bake for 30 minutes. If you want crispy stuffing, bake uncovered. For softer stuffing, cover with foil.

To reduce the carb count by a very significant amount: replace the bread cubes with Keto bread (lowest carb bread on the market) or High Protein bread (similar). If your supermarket doesn't stock these make your own... it's actually fun. There are lots of recipes online, and premixes from mail order. The ingredients are more expensive (due to nut flour), that's the much higher nutrition level to your advantage.
