Italians have been stuffing poultry since ancient Rome.

This extra lean turkey sausage stuffing recipe replaces pork sausage with turkey sausage made with 93 percent lean ground turkey and 88% lean or leaner ground beef to reduce saturated fat and calories. You can further reduce saturated fat and calories by substituting ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.

While most poultry stuffings are high carbohydrate bread or cornbread based. This stuffing is meat and vegetable based resulting in 20 grams of protein per 3/4 cup (150 g) serving.

Stuffing can be cooked separately or inside poultry. This stuffing is also a delicious side dish for ham and fish.

You can doubled or halve this recipe.
