Apple and Sage Stuffing


We are only a few weeks away from Thanksgiving; are you ready? Well here is a basic stuffing recipe to add to your Thanksgiving menu. I'm not very big on actually putting stuffing inside of a raw turkey so I always make it separate. When shopping for ingredients please read the sodium level on the chicken broth. Some labels that say low sodium aren't actually that low in sodium. There are brands out there that have chicken broth with 50 to 70 mg of sodium per cup. Also if you are vegetarian you could easily make this recipes and just use Vegetable broth. Just a reminder there are more thanksgiving recipes on www.chefwithaheart.com.  Enjoy Everyone! 



Ingredients:
1 cup Celery (chopped)
1 cup Sweet Yellow Onion (chopped)
1 medium Gala Apple (chopped)
1 cup Very Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tbsp Sage (ground)
8 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and finely chopped
Dash Black Pepper
12 slices Diet Whole Wheat Bread (toasted and cubed)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven at 350.
2) In a medium saucepan, cook celery, onion and apple in 1/3 cup broth, until tender. Remove from heat.
3) Stir in sage and pepper.
4) Place dry bread cubes in large mixing bowl and mix in onion mixture.
5) Drizzle with enough broth to moisten bread mixture and toss lightly. 
6) Transfer mixture to a spray a baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until stuffing is firm and golden brown.
