Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup onion

  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh sage
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 8 slices bread (for best results, use day-old bread)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 cup dried, sweetened cranberries
  • 1/2 cup liquid low-cholesterol egg substitute

  3. Toss in the cubed bread, pepper, poultry seasoning, fresh herbs and cranberries.
  4. Mix egg product and stock. Pour it into the bread mixture and mix lightly.
  5. Place the stuffing into the turkey body cavity and neck to cook, or bake stuffing separately in a baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray at 350º F for 45 minutes.
