Cook Time: 45 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

2 teaspoons canola oil
2 cups chopped celery
1 large onion, chopped
1 (32-ounce) container reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 recipe Lightened Up cornbread, crumbled (recipe follows)
7 slices oven-dried whole-wheat light bread, cubed
1 sleeve fat-free crackers, coarsely crushed   (Saltines, 40 crackers – about 2 cups)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Spray a large shallow baking dish with nonstick spray.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onion, and 1/4 cup broth. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.

Combine the cornbread, wheat bread, and crackers in a large bowl. Spoon the celery mixture over the cornbread mixture. Add the remaining broth, the eggs, sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper, tossing to combine well. Spoon into the dish. Bake, covered, until the stuffing is cooked through, and the topping is browed 50 – 60 minutes.

Cornbread Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients and pour into a greased shallow baking dish. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

I just discovered your web site and I go to Savannah 2x/year for the wonderful city,the people and oh man the food but I always suffer with a weight gain. Your web site with all of those lightened up recipes are a great find. I am on a weight loss program now and I know when I'm cooking foods for later on my own I have a great recipe site that will keep my food cravings in check and keep my weight down. Thank y'all so very much for putting the effort into creating a web site for people like me. I sincerely appreciate your hard effort!!!! Stacy
