Description
A delicious low-carb stuffing recipe perfect for the holidays, featuring spicy Italian sausage and homemade skillet bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe Cheesy Skillet Bread
- 12 ounces (340.2 g) spicy Italian sausage
- 1 cup (101 g) diced celery
- 1/2 cup (80 g) diced onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup (118.29 ml) low sodium chicken broth
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (59.15 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- A day or two in advance, make the skillet bread and cube into ½ inch pieces. Preheat the oven to 200ºF. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and bake 2 to 3 hours, until well dried and crisp. Let sit out overnight to continue to dry.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and butter a 9×13 glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage; sauté until just cooked through, about 6 minutes, breaking up large chunks with a wooden spoon.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a large bowl. Add the celery, onion, garlic, sage, salt, and pepper to the skillet and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add to the bowl.
- Add the cubed bread to the sausage mixture. Toss to combine well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and broth. Pour over the mixture in the bowl and mix well. Spread in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 35 minutes, uncovered, until the top is crusty and browned.
Notes
- Storage Information: Store the cooked stuffing in the fridge, tightly wrapped up, for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for several months.
- Nut-free version: Use my Keto Coconut Flour Bread in place of the skillet bread.
