Dr Jockers Comments:
The typical stuffing dressing is full of gluten containing grains, hydrogenated oils (trans-fats), MSG and other additives and preservatives. We want to enjoy our Thanksgiving meal without poisoning our body. This recipe tastes great and packs a punch of nutrition in every bite.
This grain free paleo stuffing dressing contains loads of superfoods like celery, mushrooms and grass-fed butter. It is also full of phytonutrient dense super herbs. We love turmeric, garlic powder, sage, rosemary and thyme. These contain loads of powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammatory stress in the body. Enjoy!

This looks so delicious! Thanks for posting such healthy recipe ideas for Thanksgiving. Last year I tried a “gluten free” mix, and it didn’t taste good at all. This looks amazing! Blessings!
Your welcome Christina! I hope it went well!
I thought just make keto bread and dry it, add usual herbs for flavor. I’ll see if this will work.
Let me know how that turns out!
