Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. No surprise there, I know I’ve said it before! I have nothing but great memories of cooking and eating classic, comforting, delicious food and laughing for hours on end with my family.

And sure, over the past several years our holiday table started looking a little bit different as many of my Paleo favorites started taking over. It’s surprisingly easy to make many of your Thanksgiving favorites so much healthier yet with ALL the traditional flavors you expect at the holiday table.

My favorite side dish was always stuffing, which is why I’ve made many paleo versions – it’s tough to pick a favorite! Today we’re going with toasty roasted sweet potatoes as the base with all natural sausage (because I can’t get enough!) from Jones Dairy Farm to keep it delicious and healthy, too.

How To Make Sweet Potato Stuffing

This recipe is truly easy to throw together – which is a lifesaver on Thanksgiving! You peel and chop the sweet potatoes, toss in oil and sea salt, and roast them in a single layer so they get nice and toasty.

While the potatoes roast, you cook the remaining ingredients on the stovetop. This won’t take any longer than the potatoes will take to roast. Once the potatoes are done, you toss everything together and bake it for about 15 minutes in a casserole dish to get everything nice and toasty.

This stuffing reheats very well in the oven too – so it’s no problem to make it ahead of time if you’re bringing it somewhere on Thanksgiving. Simply cover it with aluminum foil and reheat in a 400° F oven until heated through.

  • 1 1/2tbspavocado oilor olive oil, for roasting
  • Sea salt and black pepperfor roasting
  • 2tbspgheeor coconut oil
  • 1medyellow onionchopped
  • 3-4clovesgarlicminced

  • 1largeapple or 2 small, chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepperto taste
  • 1Tbspfresh rosemaryminced
  • 2tspfresh sageminced
  • 2tspfresh thyme leaves
  • 1Tbspfresh parsleyminced, plus more for garnish, if desired
  • 1/2cupdried cranberriesapple juice sweetened, for Whole30
  • 1egg whisked, optional**

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the sweet potato cubes in the avocado oil or olive oil and sprinkle all over with sea salt and pepper.

  2. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring after 15 for even browning. Roast until toasty on the outside and soft inside.

  3. While the potatoes are roasting, get your other ingredients chopped and ready.

  4. Heat a large skillet over med heat and add the ghee or oil.Once heated, add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Add the garlic, sprinkle with sea salt, and continue to cook another minute until soft.

  5. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and use a spoon to break up lumps. Stir occasionally as it cooks. Cook about 5-7 minutes sausage with the onions and garlic until browned.

  6. Add the chopped apples and cook for a minute until just softened. Add the fresh herbs and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Lower the heat and stir to combine all flavors. Simmer for 2 more minutes, remove from heat and set aside.

  7. Once the sweet potatoes are roasted (they should be light brown and crisp on the outside) add them to the sausage mixture along with the dried cranberries, stir to combine. Stir the whisked egg** (if desired) into the mixture and toss/mix to incorporate

  8. Lower the oven temperature to 400° F. If you used an ovenproof skillet, you can bake the stuffing right in the skillet. If your skillet is not ovenproof, transfer the entire mixture to a 2-3 qt baking dish and spread out evenly.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes if you did not use the egg, and 25 minutes if you used the egg, or until toasty and set. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

**Only use the egg if you want you stuffing to “stick”, otherwise, you can omit and simply skip to baking it without the egg.

    This looks fabulous! Can dried herbs be used in place of fresh herbs, and does it reheat well? I’ll have to make this a day or two in advance, as we are traveling for the holiday.

    I have never written to a complete stranger before , but I was so touched by your story and so amazed at your recipes (and I have exceedingly high standards for my own creations, if I say so myself:)!! I never sign up for websites but I will today-yours!!! The recipes are outstanding!!! Also our stories are similar. I was a University Professor of Sociology and Social Psychology and resigned to raise my two children!! I can’t get over how creative your recipes are!!

    Made this as a side for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! I did add the optional egg and liked how it worked as a binder for everything.

    Absolutely delicious and worth the time to cook it! I’ve had non paleo peeps ask me for the recipe where I direct them to this website. I recommend making a double batch to save some.
