Move over standard bread stuffing, this weight-loss-friendly side dish is incredible. The rich flavour of the sausage combined with the roasted cauliflower and just the right seasoning perfectly complements a thanksgiving day turkey dinner.
Ingredients:
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small bite-size pieces
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, divided
- 2 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 16 oz. Jimmy Dean bulk sausage, sage flavored*
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Place cauliflower in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Sprinkle with ½ tsp. poultry seasoning; toss to coat.
- Spread cauliflower evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet (this will need to be done in batches; or use 2 baking sheets). Bake 30 minutes turning cauliflower halfway through.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, salt and pepper; stir fry 5 minutes or until onion is lightly caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add sausage to same skillet used for onion mixture; sprinkle with ½ tsp. poultry seasoning. Brown over medium heat until cooked through; drain, if necessary.
- Fold roasted cauliflower and onion mixture into cooked sausage; heat through.
- Transfer stuffing to a large serving bowl. Season with additional salt and pepper (to taste), and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Enjoy!
Tip: If sage flavored sausage is unavailable, add 1 tsp. dried sage to plain bulk sausage when browning.
