Notes
- If you can't find sausage stuffing, then just remove casing from regular sausage.
- Save time by using a food processor to roughly chop all your veggies.
- Replace dates with dried cranberries, if you prefer.
- This healthy stuffing reheats well, so you can make it ahead of time and save the leftovers for a quick weekday meal.
- You can make this entire paleo stuffing recipe in a large oven-proof skillet, or you can bake it in a casserole/baking dish as per my instructions.
