[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Harvest Stuffing - 23g Carbs, 2g Fiber

 

Harvest Stuffing - 23g Carbs, 2g Fiber

From: www.swansonvitamins.com

1 lb whole-wheat Italian bread, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup Swanson Organic Walnuts, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup Eden Foods Cranberries
1 Tbsp Swanson Olive Oil
1/3 cup Swanson Organic Onion Flakes
1 medium celery stalk with leaves, chopped fine (about 1/2 cup)
8 oz shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed, and caps chopped
1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
1/4 cup Swanson Organic Parsley Leaves
1 Tbsp Swanson Organic Sage
1 Tbsp Swanson Organic Thyme Leaves
1 tsp Swanson Himalayan Crystal Salt
1 tsp Swanson Organic Peppercorns, ground
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Place bread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F, tossing
occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl
along with walnuts and dried cranberries.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add celery and
mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened
(about 5 minutes). Add apple and continue to cook until almost tender
(about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper,
parsley flakes, onion flakes, sage, and thyme.

Add celery and mushroom mixture to bowl with bread mixture; stir to
combine. Add enough of the broth to thoroughly moisten the bread
mixture without soaking it (there shouldn't be any excess broth in
the bottom of the bowl). Spoon stuffing into a 2-quart casserole dish,
cover with foil, and bake 20 minutes. Uncover, mist the top of the
stuffing with olive-oil spray, if desired, and bake until golden
brown, about 15 minutes more.

To cook in turkey: Moisten the bread mixture with only 1 1/2 cups of
the chicken broth and spoon half of the mixture into the turkey; cook
turkey as preferred. For the rest of the bread mixture, add more of
the broth to moisten, being careful not to soak (see above).

Transfer the remaining stuffing to a 1-quart baking dish or 8-by-8-inch
baking pan. Cover with foil and proceed as above.
