Introduction
Whole wheat bread gives this side staying power. The fruits and vegetables bulk up the dish, so a little goes a long way. A bit of turkey bacon adds another layer of flavor without adding many calories. Whole wheat bread gives this side staying power.

I used part of this stuffing to actually stuff the turkey, & the rest still filled the 13x9 baking dish. Both versions were fabulous! I did add sage & thyme to maintain that traditional T-giving flavor. Everyone raved about it! NOTE: Please do provide serving size for those who track food. - 11/27/09
