MmmONDAY!

Here’s a stuffing recipe that won’t leave you stuffed this Thanksgiving! Switching from butter to a smaller amount of oil cuts two-thirds of the total fat and a third of the calories. Plus using whole-grain bread adds three grams of fiber per serving. I made this recipe for last year's Thanksgiving and my family loved it! From eatbetteramerica.

Prep Time: 30 min
Start to Finish: 1 hr 40 min
