Dietitian's tip:

Stuffing is traditionally baked inside poultry. Baking the stuffing separately saves calories and fat. Add more broth or water if you want your stuffing to be extra moist.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  2. 1 cup chopped celery
  3. 1/2 cup chopped onion
  4. 10 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted and cut into cubes
  5. 1/4 cup chopped parsley

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large skillet, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
