Turkey Stuffing Recipe

Ingredients

2 whole eggs
1/8 cup coconut oil (or grass-fed butter)
1 chopped onion
4 stalks celery
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped cranberries
1/2 cup cooked wild rice or cooked oats (or half and half)
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup walnuts
1-2 cups chicken or beef stock (or more/less if you want it drier/moist)
2 tbsp white wine (optional)
1/2 to 1 tbsp of salt
1/2 tbsp pepper

Directions

1. Fry up the onion and celery in the coconut oil until they get nice and soft. Then, add the chopped cranberries, dates, and the apricots so that they too get nice and soft too.
2. Add the cooked rice (or cooked oats, or both) and throw in the eggs along with enough chicken stock (optional splash of wine) to bind it all together. Let it cook for a while until it gets to the right consistency.
3. Season it, add the nuts and stuff your bird (or just put the stuffing aside to serve alongside it).

That’s pretty much it! The recipe makes enough stuffing to fill one big turkey so, while it’s pretty high in carbs, chances are you’ll only be able to eat a small fraction of it.

Note: You can play around with this recipe by adding things like cinnamon, thyme, cloves or fresh rosemary to the mix. Or, try some cooked bacon and/or sausage instead! Play with it until you reach your ultimate turkey stuffing formula.
