The Delish team has a lot of thoughts on Thanksgiving, but we can all agree that stuffing is by far the best dish served on the holiday. Because of this, I wanted to make sure that even those not eating bread can enjoy this classic, holiday staple. Enter: Cauliflower. This low-carb cauliflower stuffing proves that you don’t necessarily need bread to make an amazing stuffing. If the group you're feeding on Thanksgiving Day is gluten-free or following a low-carb special diet, this is the only stuffing recipe you’ll need. Plus, it’s assembled entirely on the stovetop, which bodes extremely well for your oven space (more time for turkey and pie!). Here’s everything you need to know:

First, we’ve got to melt our butter. Don’t be shy here—this is where we’re getting the base of our flavor. Then, we’ll sauté the mirepoix in the butter until soft. This should take around 7 to 8 minutes.
Once soft, add in your cauliflower and mushrooms and season to taste with salt and pepper. Give everything a good mix, then cook until the cauliflower is tender—around 8 to 10 minutes more.
Add your fresh herbs, then stir to combine. Once combined, pour the broth over the mixture and cook until the mixture is completely tender, and the broth has been fully absorbed. This should take around 10 minutes. Tip: If you like stuffing with a crispy top, broil the casserole for 2-5 minutes after it’s finished cooking on the stove. Once you reach your desired texture, take it off the heat and garnish with more herbs (if you so desire) before serving.
The full list of ingredients and instructions can be found in the recipe below.
This side dish is really best the day it’s served—keep it too long, and you run the risk of it growing soggy. That being said, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for around 3 days.
