I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try to make a paleo substitute for the traditional dressing I usually make on Thanksgiving. (For those of you not from the South, instead of calling it stuffing – because you’re not stuffing it in a bird – we call it dressing. ) The recipe I’ve made for years is a take on the one my grandmother made for years and it’s almost a sacred recipe. That was a lot of pressure. But I decided to give it a try and if it didn’t taste right it’d still probably taste good enough to eat tomorrow as a day-after-thanksgiving side to go along with the leftover turkey.
Paleo/Primal Sage Stuffing (Dressing)
1 large onion
4 ribs celery
1 T coconut oil
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
3 1/2 C Almond Meal
2 t salt
1 t baking soda
2 t dried sage
1 t marjoram
1 C chicken broth
6 eggs
Directions:
Chop onions and celery. In a skillet, melt coconut oil then sweat onions and celery until they are very tender. Mix in 1/2 t salt and 1/2 t pepper to veggies. Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 350F In a large mixing bowl, mix Almond Meal, salt, soda, sage, and marjoram. Mix in broth and eggs. When cooked veggie mixture is cool, add to Almond Meal mixture. Spoon batter into lined muffin tins and bake for about 25 minutes for large muffins and 15 minutes for mini muffins. This recipe made 18 full size muffins and 6 mini. you could also put this into a regular 9×13 pan and bake for about 30+ minutes testing often for doneness.
