Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups whole grain bread
- 2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 large celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Cut the whole grain bread into small cubes and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake the bread cubes in the oven for about 10 minutes or until dry and crisp. Stir halfway through to ensure even drying. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, dried sage, dried thyme, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour the low sodium chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Transfer the dried bread cubes into a large mixing bowl. Carefully pour the vegetable and broth mixture over the bread cubes. Toss gently to coat all the bread.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread cubes to absorb the liquid.
After resting, add the chopped parsley to the stuffing and give it a final toss.
Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve. Enjoy your healthier, lower-fat stuffing!
