Classic Thanksgiving Stuffing

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bread

• 3 Tablespoons allergy free butter substitute

• 1 rib of celery, chopped

• 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 Tablespoon dried parsley or 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley

• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 1/4 cups turkey stock

Directions:

Bread cubes:

1. To make homemade bread cubes, start by drying your favorite bread. Place 8 slices of your favorite bread in a single layer on a baking pan and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes at 350°F until golden brown. Flip the bread slices and toast the other side until golden brown.

2. Remove the toasted bread from the baking pan and cut into 1/4 -1/2 inch cubes. Set aside.

Stuffing:

1. In a large pan, melt the allergy free butter substitute and sea salt over medium heat.

2. Add the celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté together for 5 minutes until the vegetables become tender and the onion is translucent.

3. Add the parsley, black pepper, and turkey stock to the pan and stir together.

4. Bring to a boil and add the bread cubes. Quickly coat the bread cubes in the liquid and cover the pan with a lid to let steam together.

5. ​Remove the stuffing from the heat and allow it to sit in the pan for an additional 5 minutes.

6. Fluff the stuffing with a fork and serve warm.
