Grain-Free Stuffing:
I wanted to create a grain-free stuffing that wouldn’t skimp on flavor. And this stuffing is just what I had envisioned. It is moist, tasty, Paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, and made with 100% real ingredients.
Grain-Free bread:
It isn’t always easy finding a grain-free, Paleo, gluten-free bread that doesn’t taste like cardboard. But I am here to tell you, I have finally found the one and I am never looking back! Awgbakery has been my go to grain-free bread since I first heard about them a couple years ago. I have used their Rosemary loaf or Everyday loaf for this recipe.
Stuffing ingredients:
- Grain-free bread of choice
- Celery
- Carrots
- Onion
- Bonafide Provisions Turkey or Chicken Bone Broth (substitute vegetable broth)
- Fourth and Heart Garlic ghee (to make it dairy-free, substitute avocado oil + 1 tsp minced garlic)
- Salt + pepper to taste
- Fresh sage
- Optional add ins: Toasted pine nuts and diced apple
And if you want to save some time, Trader Joe’s has a vegetable hash that is perfect for this stuffing. The hash has chopped butternut squash, sweet potatoes, red onions, rosemary, sage, and parsley.
Preparing the bread:
First things first, I chopped my bread into bite size pieces ( I like mine on the larger side but you can make smaller). Then add to a lined baking sheet and bake 350°F for 20-30 minutes or until they are nice and toasty. The toaster the better, because this will keep a nice crunch to the stuffing.
Making the stuffing:
While the bread is toasting, I like to prepare the rest of the dish. I Add the ghee or oil to a large pan and warm, then add the chopped celery, carrots, onions, salt + pepper, sage, and sauté for 7-10 minutes. Once everything is done I add it all to an 8×8 baking dish, pour the bone broth, mix, and bake 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
Meal prep ahead of time:
And the nice thing about this grain-free stuffing, is that it can be meal prepped ahead of time. Follow all the steps to prepping the dish. And either refrigerate over-night and in the morning bake or freeze if prepping it way in advance. And when ready to use, defrost in the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before baking.
