Stuffing has always been my favorite share of the Thanksgiving meal. I've been known to skip the bird entirely and fill up on this special side instead. whether you've adopted a Paleo lifestyle or you've cut gluten out of your diet,then you already know that traditional stuffing is out of the picture. Luckily, I've found a creative recipe that brings all the traditional flavors and textures of stuffing you want to table - only with a low-carb twist. Sweet butternut squash stands in for cubed bread, or while tall-quality sausage and an assortment of other traditional ingredients like apples,celery, and onion round out the recipe. Even whether you'll be enjoying the "real" stuff on Thanksgiving, and this recipe is a delicious and satisfying meal you can bask in all descend long!
