Paleo Stuffing Recipe [Paleo, GF, AIP]

I created this Paleo stuffing recipe several years ago and totally forgot about it until recently (and that’s why the photos don’t look as polished as some of my newer recipes).

What’s so special about this stuffing recipe is that it has sweet potatoes and liver in it for added nutrition, but you can barely even taste the liver in it (in case you’re worried). In fact, this recipe was so good, we ate it by itself as an entree!

I hope you enjoy it for Thanksgiving or just for dinner one night.

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 375F. Peel and then cube the sweet potato or yam. Mix with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and place in a large baking dish (3 quart or 2.8 liter). I used a 9 by 13 inch dish. Bake sweet potato cubes for 30 minutes.

STEP 2: Meanwhile, in a saucepan, cook the diced onions with the ground turkey with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil until both are cooked. The onions should turn translucent when cooked. Break up any large clumps of ground turkey.

STEP 3: Once the onions and ground turkey are cooked, add to the
saucepan: the sage, rosemary, and thyme

STEP 4: Once the onions and ground turkey are cooked, add to the
saucepan: the celery

STEP 5: Cook the ingredients in the saucepan for a few extra minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, saute the chopped liver in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.

STEP 6: Once the sweet potato cubes are cooked, add to the baking dish: the cranberries, dried or fresh (optional)

STEP 7: Once the sweet potato cubes are cooked, add to the baking dish: the diced apples

STEP 8: Once the sweet potato cubes are cooked, add to the baking dish: the parsley

STEP 9: Once the sweet potato cubes are cooked, add to the baking dish: the 2 eggs, whisked

STEP 10: And add everything else to the baking dish! Mix well with the chicken or turkey stock, the salt and pepper, and the rest of the coconut oil.

STEP 11: Stuff into the turkey or bake in the oven for 20 minutes on 375F.
