Traditional Thanksgiving bread stuffing with sausage and sage gets a healthy, low carb makeover! Soul bread makes a great base for any stuffing or dressing you want.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 recipe for Soul Bread Sesame Rolls - see instructions for preparation
• 1 lb bulk breakfast sausage
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whipping cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the soul bread, preheat the oven to 325F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Prepare the soul bread batter as directed and pour into prepared baking pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until it is very puffed and browned and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean (it's okay if it's too dry upon cutting it...you want it dry anyway!). Remove and let cool in the pan 10 minutes, then flip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Once the bread is cool, slice it into 1/2 inch thick slices. Lay the slices on a baking rack set over a large cookie sheet and set into a warm (200F) oven for about 2 hours, until quite dry.Chop into 1/2 inch chunks and transfer to a large bowl.
4. Preheat the oven again to 325F and grease a 9x13 glass or ceramic baking dish.
5. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until mostly cooked through, breaking up any chunks with the back of a wooden spoon. Transfer the sausage to the bowl.
6. Add 2 tbsp butter to the skillet and let melt. Add the celery, onion, salt, and pepper, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped sage and cook one minute more, then transfer the vegetables to the bowl. Pour the chicken broth over all of the ingredients in the bowl and toss to combine.
7. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Pour over the stuffing ingredients and combine well. Spread the stuffing into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake 40 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, until top is browned and a bit crispy.
