| Low Fat Low Sodium Stuffing
2-1/2 c low fat, low sodium chicken broth
3 onions, diced
6 c diced whole-grain bread
1 tbs paprika
1/4 c egg substitute
salt and pepper to taste
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.
Variations--
Herb Stuffing: Add 1 tablespoon mixed chopped sage, rosemary, and parsley.
Fruit Stuffing: Add 1/2 cup diced tart apples, washed cranberries, or diced pears.
Sweet Stuffing: Add 1 teaspoon allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
Mushroom Stuffing: Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms (white or wild). Saute with the onions. Cook until mushrooms are soft.
Chestnut Stuffing: Add 1 cup 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 cup diced dried apricots, apples, figs, cranberries, or cherries.
Corn Bread Stuffing: Replace 3 cups of the whole-grain bread with 3 cups cornbread.
