Basic Bread Stuffing Recipe

In a skillet over medium-high heat heat 1/2 cup of the chicken broth. Add the onions and cook for 10 minutes until onions have softened.

In a bowl combine the cooked onions remaining broth bread paprika egg substitute and salt and pepper. Mix well.

Place mixture inside the cavity of a turkey or place it in a casserole dish. If stuffing is to be baked separately from the turkey place stuffing in a preheated 350-degree oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Variations include - Herb Stuffing: Add 1 tablespoon mixed chopped sage rosemary and parsley. Fruit Stuffing: Add 1/2 cup diced tart apples washed cranberries or diced pears. Sweet Stuffing: Add 1 teaspoon allspice cinnamon nutmeg or ginger. Mushroom Stuffing: Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms (white or wild). Saute with the onions. Cook until mushrooms are soft. Chestnut Stuffing: Add 1 cup roasted chestnuts peeled (chestnuts are low in fat). To save time use a jar of water-packed chestnuts (some grocers stock these around the holidays) instead of roasting the chestnuts.
