How to Make Holiday Stuffing

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while providing a similar flavor.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon cubes

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

mushrooms

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: canned mushrooms

Zucchini provides a similar texture and moisture.

In a skillet, add 1 stick of butter, diced onions, celery, and a little salt.

Stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the veggies soften and cook down.

Remove from heat and let it slightly cool.

In a large bowl, add the bread cubes and the cooked vegetable mixture.

Add fresh chopped parsley, sage, more salt, black pepper, thyme, and poultry seasoning to the bowl.

Give everything a good toss to combine.

Pour in about 2 cups of homemade turkey broth, tossing to ensure the bread cubes absorb the broth.

Add 1 egg for a binder and stir to mix everything together.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pour the stuffing mixture into a well-greased baking dish and level it out.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes or until the top starts to turn golden brown.
