Ingredients

• 6 cups Cornbread
• 2 cups Whole wheat bread
• 2.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 3 large Egg whites
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 stalks Celery, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Cube the cornbread and whole wheat bread, spread them out on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 10 minutes until lightly crispy. Remove and let cool.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and celery with cooking spray until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed onion and celery, minced sage, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites lightly, then add the low-sodium chicken broth. Mix well.

Step 6

Pour the egg and broth mixture over the bread mixture, tossing gently to evenly coat. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the liquid.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and lower-fat Southern-style dressing!
