You won’t be missing that full-calorie stuffing after trying this gluten free stuffing. It’s delicious! Only 82 calories per serving and full of flavor!
I was given this recipe from Chef Sam, the executive chef at Fitness Ridge. I have to admit, I was skeptical about it. I wasn’t sure how gluten free stuffing would taste. To my very pleasant surprise, it was DELICIOUS. My kids loved it. No more feeling guilty about putting stuffing on your plate at Thanksgiving!
Can you believe this is only 82 CALORIES? That is amazing considering a 1/2 cup of boxed stuffing mix is 178 calories! Over TWICE as many calories as this recipe!
1 serving = 1/2 cup = 82 Calories (compare to 178 Calories for 1/2 cup. regular stuffing)

November 19, 2014 at 6:54 pmDo you feel the grape seed oil makes or breaks it? I’m considering skipping it.

November 19, 2014 at 8:16 pmI wouldn’t skip it altogether. You could use less oil. The oil brings out the flavors of the herbs and so little is used that it doesn’t add that many calories. You can also replace the grape seed oil with another oil you have on hand.
