Stuffing - Keto and Gluten Free
Stuffing during the holidays is a family tradition - and now your Keto / gluten free option will taste just as good as your old family recipe!
It starts with our delicious loaf of bread (that you can make any time of the year!). Then add in all the stuffing ingredients you love. You’ll be amazed at how great this tastes. And I bet your family won’t even know it’s Keto!
Recipe:
Homemade Bread, cubed
2 Tablespoons Butter (olive oil for dairy free)
1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
3 Celery Stalks, chopped
2-3 Cloves Garlic, minced
8 ounces Mushrooms, chopped
1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts
1 teaspoon Parsley Seasoning
2 teaspoons Poultry Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
2 Large Eggs, Beaten
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
Recipe:
Cube the homemade bread and toast at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes. Set aside.
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
3. Add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.
4. Stir in the chopped nuts, parsley, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Remove the skillet from heat.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted low carb bread cubes and the vegetable mixture. Toss to combine evenly.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten eggs. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and vegetables, gently stirring until the bread cubes are well coated and the mixture is moist but not soggy.
7. Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the stuffing is cooked through.
The Keto Dad Tips and Tricks:
Use Olive Oil to make this dairy free
The salt in the broth and seasoning were enough for us. Depending on the brands you use, you may want to add some salt.
Use walnuts, pecans, or skip the nuts!
