Quinoa Stuffing

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked quinoa
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup chopped yellow onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped green apple
1/2 pound cooked, crumbled and drained bulk breakfast sausage (turkey or pork)
2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
(Optional; Up to 1/2 cup chicken or turkey broth, added if preparing stuffing in a baking dish)

Directions:

In a large saucepan, cook onion and celery in butter until soft. Add green apples and toss to combine.

In a large bowl, combine quinoa with cooked vegetables, apples and sausage. Rub sage leaves between your palms over the bowl to crush; add salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine thoroughly.

Use as a stuffing for your turkey. Can also be baked in a large buttered baking dish, covered at 350 for about 25 to 30 minutes. If you like your dressing moist, add up to 1/2 cup of broth before cooking.
