Recipe: Gluten-Free Stuffing

Love stuffing, but want to avoid the unhealthy ingredients most store-bought varieties include? Same. That’s why I’ll be setting my Thanksgiving table with this gluten-free, grain-free stuffing from 40 Aprons instead. 

Directions:

STEP 1: 

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

STEP 2:

Heat avocado oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. 

STEP 3: 

Add onion, celery, apple, mushrooms, dried cranberries, flat-leaf parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until very soft—approximately seven minutes.

STEP 4:

Remove from heat, stir in almond flour, and mix well. Then add the whisked eggs and mix well.

STEP 5:

Bake for 45 minutes to one hour (or until browned on top) and enjoy
