Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Place keto bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing the bread about halfway. Continue to bake until the bread is dried. (Note: feel free to do this step several days in advance. Store in an air-tight bag.)
Increase oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving any sausage juices and fat in the pan. Set the pork aside.
Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery and saute until tender, about 7 to 9 minutes.
Add green onion and garlic, saute for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Transfer bread cubes to a large bowl and add sausage, parsley, cooked vegetables, parsley, poultry seasoning, pepper, and broth. Stir until combined.(Note: if using to stuff a turkey, use less broth - about ½ cup to ¾ cup.)
To Bake The Stuffing:Transfer to a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more until heated through.
To Stuff A Turkey:If using it to stuff a turkey, you do not need to bake before hand. This recipe makes enough to stuff a 10 to 12-pound turkey. Follow the roasting instructions that come with your turkey for a stuffed bird.
