Baking Low Carb Turkey Stuffing on its own
To bake this stuffing without a turkey, add extra broth to get the mixture wet enough to stick together. Bake in a covered casserole dish at 350°F for about 45 minutes. Add more broth if the mixture is dry.
For portion control, bake the stuffing in ramekins or small dishes. This is especially helpful when serving anyone who may struggle with figuring out carbs and portions. Just divide the stuffing into oven-safe dishes and bake. Its easy and eliminates the guesswork.
Dealing with Dry Stuffing
Add more chicken broth if the stuffing is dry. When roasting the turkey, juices from the meat will absorb into the stuffing, making it nice and moist. To compensate for a drier meat, just add a little more liquid.
Stuffing Other Meats
This stuffing recipe works great with chicken, pork tenderloin, beef roll-ups and even meatloaf. Just change out the chicken broth for beef broth where appropriate and enjoy.
Storing and Freezing
Store turkey stuffing covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze – cover with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
