CABOT’S REDUCED-FAT STUFFING

3 3/4 cups cubed white bread

1 1/2 cups cubed whole-wheat bread

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

6 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1/2-pound low-fat turkey sausage

3/4 cup chopped celery

2 1/2 teaspoons dried sage

1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1 Golden Delicious apple, cored and chopped

3/4 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup minced fresh parsley

1 cup Cabot Reduced Fat Cheddar, cut into 1-inch chunks

3/4 cup turkey stock

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spread white and whole-wheat bread cubes in single layer on large baking sheet. Bake for about 7 minutes or until nicely toasted. Transfer to large bowl and set aside.

Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, onions and garlic cook, stirring, for several minutes until onions are golden.

Add sausage, breaking up with spoon, and cook until evenly browned. Add celery, sage, rosemary and thyme; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to blend flavors.

Pour sausage mixture over bread cubes. Mix in apple, cranberries, parsley and cheese. Drizzle with turkey stock and toss together lightly. Let cool.

Spoon stuffing into turkey, loosely filling cavity. (Alternatively, bake at 375 degrees in an oiled dish covered with foil for 30 minutes, then uncovered for 20 minutes longer.)
