This Dairy-free Stuffing Recipe Is Going to Be a Holiday Hit (1)

Stuffing is a ubiquitous dish on the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday table, but it's also a simple and comforting side any time of year. However, most recipes include butter, making this side dish off limits to those who need to eat dairy free. Luckily, stuffing is easy to make without using butter. This recipe substitutes olive oil and soy margarine, keeping that traditional flavor while making it safe for those who eliminate dairy from their diet.

Your Frequently Asked Holiday Questions, Answered

Others can also feel good about eating this stuffing since it is made with whole grain bread, and chances are the kids will enjoy it too as the recipe is kept simple, calling for onions, celery, and herbs. The directions are for baking in a casserole dish, but the stuffing can be placed inside the turkey and cooked if you so choose.

Stuffing is the perfect pairing with turkey, but it is also delicious alongside braised chicken, glazed pork tenderloin, and a grilled leg of lamb. This stuffing can also be a part of a vegetarian meal including roasted autumn squash and sweet potato casserole.
