Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 pound extra-lean ground beef (we used the 95% lean, organic, grass-fed beef from Whole Foods)
2 cups walnut pieces, very finely chopped/ground and soaked overnight (rinse several times before using)
1 medium sweet onion, diced
4 stalks of celery, diced
1 apple, cored and finely diced (we used a Minnesota Honeycrisp)
Several springs of fresh rosemary, sage, thyme, and marjoram (poultry mix), finely chopped
˝ tsp garlic powder
˝ tsp sea salt

Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Chop all the veggies, the apple, and herbs. Saute the beef and celery for 3-4 minutes on medium heat, making sure that the beef gets broken up into really small pieces as it cooks. (Big chunks are not very stuffing-like!) We used a big saucepan for this, as we didn’t want the contents to overflow once everything was mixed.
Add the onion and apple, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the herbs, garlic powder, walnuts, and salt, and mix thoroughly. The beef should NOT be totally cooked at this point – there should still be some pink.
Pull everything out of the pan, and dump it into a 9×13 baking pan (or two 6×9 pans), and bake uncovered at 375 for 30 minutes. Serve hot from the oven. |

Notes: This recipe is from Whole9, part of their Whole30-compliant alternatives to traditional Thanksgiving dishes.
"This dish serves 8-10. We’ve used extra-lean ground beef and soaked walnuts, along with traditional spices and herbs, to give this “stuffing” the same feel and flavor as the original bread-based dish. Note, the extra-lean ground beef is the key – buy the leanest available. This will keep the stuffing from tasting too much like, well… ground beef, as much of the beef flavor is carried in the fat. This is best right out of the oven."
