I made this low sodium stuffing recipe this year for our third Thanksgiving cooking in our house! This year we stayed and cooked at home (due to COVID). Last year my family came in from Chicago and we celebrated together. And in 2018 we cooked at home after a giant snow storm caused us to miss our flights out to Calgary for our wedding reception. We may have missed our own wedding reception, but everyone else still went and had a blast! 🙂
What’s In This Low Sodium Stuffing Recipe?
- Olive Oil: I like Terra DeLyssa brand olive oil becuase it has a great and fruity flavor. Amazon has a 3-pack here which is a really great value for the quality oil.
- Onion
- Celery
- Vegetable Stock or Boullion: I like Better Than Boullion’s Vegetable Base which is low sodium, I got mine on Amazon here. Try to use a low or no sodium stock to keep the sodium content to a minimum.
- Garlic
- Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
- Garlic Powder
- Ground Sage: I love adding this ground sage to stuffings, its a classic!
- Sourdough Bread: You can use homemade sourdough bread, or a store-bought loaf. Either way you will have delicious stuffing. Sourdough bread typically has less sodium that normal bread, so even buying store bought is ok (but check the labels). I have a simple guide to homemade sourdough in 1 week, check it out!
- Walnuts: I topped the stuffing with walnuts with some extra crunch and delicious flavor. The walnuts bake in the oven and get all warm and toasted. I bought this giant bag of walnuts from Amazon here, and have been using them in everything!
