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:
- 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.
- Place in an ovenproof casserole. Bake for 30 minutes. If you want crispy stuffing, bake uncovered. For softer stuffing, cover with foil.
