Recipe: Dr. Jiwani’s Low Carb Vegan Stuffing

(Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Soy-Free Corn-Free for Vegan Paleo Keto Diabetic & Candida Diets)

Dr. Jiwani’s Low Carb Vegan Stuffing provides a solution to the common breaded stuffing which offers nothing but allergens, excess carbohydrates and sleepiness. Thanksgiving & other holidays usually require a featured entree, such as a Roasted Turkey, but a Turkey without Stuffing is like Batman without Robin. The safety of stuffing your turkey is questionable so I prefer to prepare my Low Carb Vegan Stuffing as a side dish to avoid raw turkey bacteria from contaminating it. Technically then it should be called Dressing rather than Stuffing, but I’m old school and that’s what I grew up with. Basically, this is a delectable side dish to partner with your Turkey in your quest for the perfect Low Carb, Gluten-Free Turkey Dinner. This features the natural sweetness of caramelized onions, tartness of apple and crunch from celery & nuts to make an easy and delicious Low Carb Vegan Stuffing.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
