Low Carb Sausage & Herb Stuffing

Ingredients:

  • 1 Loaf of unsliced LC XL Sourdough Bread cut into 1/2 inch cubes to equal about 8 cups
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 pound sage pork sausage
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 5 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh chopped sage
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/4 cup of chicken stock
  • 2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and bake them for 5-10 minutes until slightly toasted, stirring halfway.
  3. Spray a 9 x 12 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
  4. When the bread cubes are toasted and slightly cooled, place them into to a very large bowl.
  5. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through.
  6. Add the cooked sausage to the bowl with the bread cubes.
  7. In the same pan, melt the butter and add the onions, celery, garlic, parsley, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper. Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Add the wine, and allow the wine to reduce to about half, 10 minutes. 
  8. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the stock to combine all of the flavors.
  9. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the bread cubes and sausage. Add the beaten egg.
  10.  Mix until everything is well combined, and all of the liquid is absorbed. If it seems too dry, add more broth as needed.
  11. Transfer the stuffing into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top and hot in the middle. Serve warm.
