I honestly can’t imagine Thanksgiving without a heap of hot stuffing on my plate. 

No joke, growing up I would make stuffing and mashed potato sandwiches with the leftovers! Talk about a total carb overload…

With healthy, gluten-free recipes like this one, my dreams can still come true without compromising flavor or my health with potentially harmful foods like gluten. 

So, we’re keeping it simple and traditional with the classic savory flavors of onion, celery, sage, and thyme mixed with cubes of toasted bread. The outcome is hearty and flavorful, perfectly moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. 

If you want to jazz it up, you can easily add cranberries or chopped pecans or walnuts. The addition of crumbled breakfast sausage makes this dish extra savory and more balanced instead of being a total carb fest! Or you can easily make this recipe vegan by replacing ghee with olive oil and bone broth with vegetable stock. 

I usually make the herbed veggie mixture the night before serving, while the bread is toasting. By toasting the bread ahead of time and allowing it to cool thoroughly, you ensure a nice, slightly crunchy texture. Just be sure to store your bread cubes uncovered, or they will come out soggy!

Thanksgiving day, you can just mix the bread, veggies, and broth, then bake as directed. One less thing to worry about on the big day, and a delicious side for your healthy feast! Check out our easy recipe for Golden Roast Turkey Breast, or get ideas for your whole Thanksgiving menu.
