Cooking Time45 min

Ingredients

  • 2 loaves old wheat bread, sliced, toasted and cubed
  • 1 pound low fat sausage
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled, cut up fine
  • 1 or 2 large onions, peeled, and chopped fine
  • 2 tablespoon to 6 of your favorite fresh herbs, or 2 to 6 teaspoons dried (sage, basil, oregano)
  • 2 cup chopped celery or fruit (raisins, cranberries)
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. In your biggest pot, saute veggies (onions, carrot, celery, ...) and the low fat sausage.
     
  2. Break up the low fat sausage into the smallest bits that you can. Do not saute the fruit if you are using it, at this point.
     
  3. When this is sauteed, add the rest of the ingredients except the eggs and mix them well.
     
  4. Add the eggs, and mix well. They will help the stuffing stick together.
     
  5. Stuff your turkey and cook per the turkey's directions. This stuffs a good 20-plus-pound turkey, so if you have extra, put it in a baking dish and stick it in the oven for the last 30 to 45 minutes of turkey roasting.
     
  6. Cover the dish with foil to keep it from toasting.
