Thanksgiving is coming the goose is getting fit! I love the holidays and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. This Chicken Sausage Stuffing will be a real holiday home run. Bursting with flavor and packed full of lean protein, Chicken Sausage Stuffing will please even the pickiest of eaters. I love how the flavor of the bread mixture with the onions and celery come together and the chicken sausage gives this stuffing the fit-licious element of surprise.

I grew up loving my Mom’s stuffing, which turned me into a stuffing “snob.” Not wanting to “cheat” on my Mom with a new stuffing I added chicken sausage to her’s, which stepped up the flavor intensity of a holiday tradition. Chicken Sausage Stuffing not only is delicious from the turkey, but I like to put the extra into a muffin pan. They remain nice and moist on the inside, but have a light toasted crunch on the outside. Not to mention they look adorable set on the table in little muffin shapes. I made these Chicken Sausage Stuffing muffins for my family and the vote was unanimous, I am now in charge of the stuffing over the holidays. Enjoy stuffing your face with this fit-fabulous Chicken Sausage Stuffing, I know I will. xoxo
