Low Sodium Stuffing

Before I start, I apologize for the delay in getting this posted. Anyone who knows me, knows I love German Shorthair Pointers, I have 2, mostly because of their mischievous nature. Until one of them eats my hardwork...

The dog ate my homework

So there we have it. I started again, adapted and overcame. And now the recipe is GSP approved. Its a good thing he's cute.

I started with a low sodium bread that I made. That totals out to about 4ish mg a serving.

I do recommend making this the day before to allow everything to really pop.

Makes about 4 servings with about 40mg sodium per serving. We won't talk about calories, diets are for the new year.

Ingredients

• 10 oz loso/noso bread, cut into cubes

• 1 cup diced celery

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 2 cups sodium free broth

• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• 1 1/2 tsp sage*

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp rosemary

• 1/2 tsp savory

• 1/2 tsp marjoram

• 1/2 tsp basil

• 1/2 tsp oregano

• 1/2 tsp celery seed

• 1/2 tsp thyme

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

• 1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 250° F. Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast until bread is completely dried out and starting to brown. This process takes a bit so be sure to check every 15 minutes or so. Turn oven to 375° when you take out bread.

2. In a large pan or Dutch oven, melt butter.

3. Add celery and cook until starting to soften

4. Add spices and stir to combine. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

5. Add broth and bring to a boil.

6. Turn of heat and mix in bread cubes. Make sure to get them very coated.

7. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and fluff with fork

8. Put in a baking dish and bake until the top starts getting brown.

Yes, it has lots of seasonings. Yes its worth it. You may wonder about the sesame seed addition. Well, sesame seeds play well with the garlic and onion. It enhances the earthy, nuttiness of them.

* I like my stuffing full of sage. Adjust according to your preferences, thats half the fun of cooking!
