Prepare this easy stuffing in a baking dish or use it to stuff the turkey. This healthy stuffing gets its sweetness from the apples and a unique flavor from the onion and walnut combination.
Ingredients
30 slices whole wheat bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 egg plus 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tsp sage
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 Granny Smith apples, cubed
Black pepper to taste
Preparation
Toast the bread cubes in the oven on a large baking sheet. Allow the toasted bread to sit approximately 24 hours, until hard.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly coat a large ovenproof baking dish (9-by-13 inch) with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and slowly cook until soft. Remove from the heat.
Add the eggs, chicken broth and breadcrumbs to the onion mixture. Mix thoroughly, then mix in the rubbed sage, garlic powder, walnuts, apples and pepper.
Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for on hour, or until the top is browned and crisp.
