Keyword low fat sausage stuffing, low fat stuffing recipe

1 medium onion, chopped
2 ribs celery (with leaves), chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled & thinly sliced
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1½ to 2 cups turkey or chicken broth, as needed
16 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces (10 cups) whole wheat, white or French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and dried overnight
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup liquid egg subsititute (or 2 eggs)

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Add 1/2 cup of broth and bring to a boil. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the broth has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Add the turkey sausage and cook, stirring often and breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the sausage is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Stir in the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.
Scrape the sausage mixture into a large bowl. Mix in the bread crumbs and parsley. Gradually stir in the liquid egg substitute (or egg) and about 1 cup broth, until stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy. Use as a stuffing. Or place in a lightly buttered casserole dish, drizzle with 1/2 cup broth, cover, and bake as a side dish (375 degrees F. for 30 to 45 minutes).
