List of Ingredients
Low Fat Basic Bread Stuffing
2 1/2 c low fat, low sodium chicken broth
3 onions, diced
6 c diced whole-grain bread
1 T paprika
1/4 c egg substitute
salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 cup of the chicken
broth. Add the onions and cook for 10 minutes until onions have
softened. In a bowl, combine the cooked onions, remaining
broth, bread, paprika, egg substitute and salt and pepper. Mix
well. Place mixture inside the cavity of a turkey or place it
in a casserole dish. If stuffing is to be baked separately from
the turkey, place stuffing in a preheated 350-degree oven and
bake for 45 minutes. Makes 12 servings.
Variations include:
Herb Stuffing: Add 1 T mixed chopped sage, rosemary, and
parsley.
Fruit Stuffing: Add 1/2 c diced tart apples, washed cranberries,
or diced pears. Sweet Stuffing: Add 1 t allspice, cinnamon,
nutmeg, or ginger.
Mushroom Stuffing: Add 1 c sliced mushrooms (white or wild).
Saute with the onions. Cook until mushrooms are soft.
Chestnut Stuffing: Add 1 c roasted chestnuts, peeled (chestnuts
are low in fat). To save time, use a jar of water-packed
chestnuts (some grocers stock these around the holidays) instead
of roasting the chestnuts.
Dried Fruit Stuffing: Add 1 c diced dried apricots, apples,
figs, cranberries, or cherries.
Corn Bread Stuffing: Replace 3 c of the whole-grain bread with
3 c cornbread.
