Low Carb Thanksgiving: Stuffing (Gluten Free and Paleo)

November 19, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

This content will be shown before all post

I haven’t had Stuffing (or Dressing) in a long time. The last few years I’ve been trying to pretend like green beans or mushrooms would make me forget that I wasn’t having Stuffing with my Thanksgiving dinner.  This year I have a the perfect low carb solution! OK, you stuffing purists are probably saying that this didn’t come out of a turkey.  You’re right it’s not actually stuffed inside the bird so I should call it Dressing.  So whether you call it Stuffing or Dressing this will be the perfect low carb substitute for your Thanksgiving meal!

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving side dish?  I’d love to hear about it in the comments below. 🙂

Low Carb Stuffing (or Dressing)

1 Loaf of Paleo/Low Carb Bread (I used this recipe)
1 lb ground pork sausage (Sage flavored, if available)
2 ribs of celery, chopped
1/4  of a large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, chopped
1/2 tsp rubbed sage
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 cup chicken bone broth

2 eggsPreheat oven to 300 F.  Cut the bread loaf into small cubes.  Place the cubes on a baking tray and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the bread has dried out.  After removing the bread from the oven increase the temperature to 350 F.

Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Once cooked, remove the sausage (leave the renderings) and let drain on a paper towel.  Add the celery, onion, garlic, mushrooms, and spices to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender. In a bowl, combine the sausage, veggies, and bread and pour into an 8″ x 8″ baking dish. Combine the eggs and chicken broth and whisk thoroughly. Pour the egg/broth mixture over the bread mixture and ensure that everything is coated and mixed.  Bake at 350 F covered for 15 minutes.  Uncover and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
