Southern-Style Keto Stuffing
Stuffing or dressing on keto seems like it could be difficult to make, but it's not and you already have the ingredients you need! Keto stuffing with a side of gravy and turkey on Thanksgiving is exactly the recipe you needed today.
Ingredients
- 5 slices keto bread
- 4 ounce ground sausage (optional)
- 1 small diced onion
- 3 stalks celery minced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup chicken broth/stock
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Prepare the bread
- If using homemade keto bread skip this step. If using store bought chop the bread into small cubes. Preheat oven to 250°F. Bake the bread for 30 minutes turning every 5 minutes to get the bread to a "stale-like" state. Once done remove from oven and sat to the side.
- Quick tip: If you want the stuffing to hold a little better you may want to crumble the bread up more after you have baked it in order to get a bunch of smaller pieces.
Cooking the stuffing
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- You'll want to cook the sausage first then place it to the side. While the sausage is cooking dice the onion and mince the celery stalk and chop up the fresh parsley.
- In the same pan you cooked the sausage in add a little oil and sauté the onions and minced celery. Cook until softened and fragrant then add in the minced garlic. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes or so then right before turning off the heat add in the chopped parsley.
- In a mixing bowl combine the bread, sausage and the sautéed veggies you just cooked.
- Pour 1 cup of chicken stock/broth and beat 1 egg into it. Then pour it in the mixing bowl over the stuffing ingredients. Mix well until most of the liquid is absorbed by the bread.
- In a 8x8 casserole dish pour the contents in there and pat down evenly with the back of a spoon.
- Cube the 3 TB of butter and place all over the top of the stuffing. Then cover with aluminum foil.
- Place in oven for 30 minutes covered then remove the cover and bake a remaining 20 minutes. For a crispy top you can broil the recipe for a few minutes at the end.
- Allow to cool a bit then serve
