Trim Healthy Stuffing (S)
Nobody has to miss out on savory stuffing this season! Thankfully we will miss out on the fattening starches that usually make up stuffing but on none of the flavor. This delicious (S) bread stuffing is a wonderful side dish alone, or you can add meat such as cooked sausage or ground turkey to make this a complete meal.
Servings: 6 or more people
INGREDIENTS:
For the Bread… (*please see note below)
– 1 cup THM Baking Blend (or, 1/3 cup each: THM Oat Fiber, coconut flour, golden flax meal)
– 2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
– 1/3 cup egg whites (carton egg whites are fine)
– 1/3 cup water
– 1 tsp mineral salt
Extra Ingredients…
– 3 Tbsp butter (or coconut oil)
– 1 onion (diced)
– 4 stalks celery (sliced or diced)
– 1 tsp dried sage
– 1/4 black pepper
– 8 ounces mushrooms (you can use up to 16 ounces, if you prefer)
– 1 Tbsp Trim Boullion Powder (*please see note below)
– 1 & 1/2 cups water (or chicken broth or stock)
INSTRUCTIONS:
For the Bread…
1. Mix well and bake in greased 8×8 pan at 350 for 25 min. These will have a tendency to stick so you will want to grease the pan well or use parchment paper.
2. Cool slightly and then cut into cubes. (You can use a 9×13 inch pan if you want smaller pieces but you may need to adjust the cook time as it may cook faster that way.)
3. Spread cubes on a cookie sheet and bake again at 300 for 20 to 30 min or until slightly browned and crunchy like croutons.
4. This can be made up ahead of time and stored in an air tight container. Refrigerate or freeze for use with stuffing later.
For the Extra Ingredients…
1. Add all ingredients except mushroom and Trim Bouillon powder to a skillet on medium/high heat.
2. Saute until onions and celery are soft (about 15 minutes)
3. Add mushrooms and chicken bouillon powder.
4. Saute until mushrooms are cooked
5. Add 1 & 1/2 cups water and full recipe of bread cubes. Mix and pour into a 9×13 pan.
6. Bake at 350 for 25 min. Stir mixture half way through baking.
7. Serve with your holiday turkey or chicken.
RECIPE NOTES:
* The THM Baking Blend variation may produce a denser stuffing.
* Add cooked sausage, ground turkey or other meat of choice before baking to make this a complete meal.
* If not using the pre-made Trim Bouillon mix, you will want to add 1/2 teaspoon of each (salt, onion powder, thyme, and garlic powder).
