1 slice whole grain bread

1 tsp canola oil

Directions:

Turkey

1. Bake turkey and serve with side items.

Mashed Potatoes and Root Veggies

2. In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the root vegetables, potatoes, and enough water to cover and heat to boiling.
3. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Drain.
4. Return the vegetables to the saucepan. Add the stock, butter, paprika, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and mash until smooth and well blended.

 

Whole Grain Stuffing

5. Heat the oven to 375°
6. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. On a baking sheet, toast the bread for about 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until lightly golden. Transfer to a large bowl.
7. In a skillet, heat the oil. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook over moderate heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the sage and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
8. Add the chopped walnuts and apple to the bowl with the bread. In a medium bowl, whisk the broth, water, and egg. Pour over the bread mixture and add the salt and pepper.
9. Toss until the bread soaks up the liquid. Scrape into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
10. Heat the oven to 375° Bake the stuffing until it is hot throughout. Remove the foil and bake until the top is lightly golden. Serve hot or warm.
