Low-carb breadless stuffing

[cleochatra]

So good you won't notice there's no bread.

1 1/2 cups chopped celery with leaves
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp pepper

Cook and stir celery and onion in butter until tender; remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bake in a 375 degree (F) oven, covered, until hot and bubbly, between 20-30 minutes.

Kent,

Sounds yummy. When I get to where I can have anything but the induction foods I may have to try this. What rung is flax on?

Re: Low-carb breadless stuffing

You can have flax during Induction. 1TBS for regularity -- I just preferred to have mine in the form of bread. To have more than that you'll have to wait to Rung 4 of OWL.

Kent,

Thanks for the information. I think that recipe will have to wait until next Thanksgiving then. Hopefully by then I will be at goal and I can eat it and be in maintenance.

I added 6 oz parmesan cheese, 1 large can of mushrooms (for moistness) and 4 eggs and 2lbs. of ground turkey for THE BEST THANKSGIVING LOAF ever!!!!

I had to bake it for 1 1/2 hours, but it was great.

Try it, Cleo (and every one else)!

Sounds delicious! I bet you could do it with ground chicken too and it would be yummy.

Which version did you make? There are several variations in this thread.

Re: Low-carb breadless stuffing

Anyone have a portion size & carb count on either of the recipes... or the variation with the parmesan and mushrooms?
They all sound great, but for those of us still keeping the carbs low, would be wonderful to have the carb count and portion size so we can see how it fits in to what we're allowed.

1 1/2 cups chopped celery with leaves
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp pepper

Cook and stir celery and onion in butter until tender; remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bake in a 375 degree (F) oven, covered, until hot and bubbly, between 20-30 minutes.

I made this version tonight, only I substituted poultry seasoning for the thyme (since thyme is the #1 ingredient in poultry seasoning, and it also contains sage and pepper). It was pretty good. My husband ate it, too, and he thought it was pretty good.

If someone had told me six weeks ago that I'd be eating 1/2 cup celery like it was potatoes, I would've told them they were nuts. But there I sat tonight eating my breadless stuffing and my baked fish. My where life leads us.
