Eggplant Sage Stuffing
Not going to pretend that eggplant stuffing will make your forget your favorite bread version, but this recipe is so good you should give it a try. Eggplant does not have much flavor of its own, so it adapts to the flavors you add, making it a fantastic gluten-free substitute for traditional stuffing. Put some turkey gravy on it and you are good to go!

I’d like to try this. I don’t see “sage” mentioned in the ingredients or in the directions for preparation. Is this a typo? If so, how much sage, please?
Thank you for your comment! We have updated the recipe to show the missing ingredient: 1 tsp ground sage.
