Tarragon Mushroom and Sausage Stuffing (Low Carb) image

This is a wonderful alternative to traditional bread stuffing, and tastes so good, you will hardly miss the bread! This is a recipe from one of Suzanne Somer's cookbooks (her dishes are delicious), and can be used by those who are on a low carb or controlled carb diet, those who utilize a food combining diet, or simply as a unique stuffing-like alternative. This can be cooked seperately from the turkey, or it can be cooked and then baked (stuffed) in the turkey (my preference, as it adds that wonderful turkey flavor). This is also awesome as a side dish for chicken, as well. I have some baking in a turkey right now (my husband and I were craving turkey and stuffing, but we are on a low carb diet, so this fit the bill perfectly). This is the second time that I have made this and it is really a wonderful treat, so I thought that I would share this recipe with all of my Zaar friends!
