Ingredients
· Cooking spray
· 12 oz pkg of Keto-Style hamburger buns, cubed
Sausage
· 8 oz turkey or chicken breast, cut into chunks and frozen for 15 minutes OR ground breast
· 1 tsp rubbed sage OR 1/2 tsp ground sage
· 1 tsp paprika
· 1/2 tsp salt
· 1/4 tsp black pepper
· 1/4 tsp garlic powder
· 1/8 tsp onion powder
· 1/8 tsp fennel seed (can substitute caraway seed, cumin, celery seed, or dill)
· 1/8-1/4 crushed red pepper flakes (for a spicy version), optional
Stuffing Additions
· 1 cup chopped onion
· 1 cup chopped celery
· 2 Tbsp rubbed sage OR 1 Tbsp ground sage
· 1 Tbsp dried parsley
· 3/4 tsp dried thyme
· 3/4 tsp salt
· 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
· 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
· 2 eggs
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat a 9” baking dish with cooking spray.
2. a) If using whole breast, place all of the sausage ingredients into a food processor and pulse 3 or 4 times, scrape down the bowl, and process another 2-3 times, until the mixture resembles ground sausage.
b) If using ground breast, grind the fennel seed and red pepper flakes (if using) using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Then combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly, taking care not to overwork the meat. Set aside.
3. Place cubed Keto buns on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Bake, gently stirring every 10 minutes, until lightly toasted and firm, about 30 minutes. Cool completely; transfer to a large bowl.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
5. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add onion and celery, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
6. Add the sage, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate and cook a minute or two for the herbs to bloom.
7. Add in the prepared sausage and continue to cook for 10 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
8. While the sausage cooks, mix broth and eggs together in a small bowl or medium measuring cup. Set aside.
9. Once the sausage is cooked, add the mixture to the bowl with cornbread. Drizzle broth/egg mixture over stuffing mixture; gently toss until evenly moistened.
10. Spoon stuffing into prepared baking dish and cover with foil; bake for 25-30 minutes.
11. Remove foil; bake until stuffing is hot, firm, and slightly crisp on top, about 10 to 15 minutes.
12. Allow stuffing to sit at least 5 minutes before serving.
