Here’s how this corn bread dressing recipe was remixed:

  • It’s important to look at the trans fat content of margarine and butter. Generally, spread margarines are better for you than stick versions. When selecting a spread, check the Nutrition Facts panel and pay attention to the grams of saturated and trans fat. Look for products that have the lowest combined amount.
     
  • Egg substitutes take the work out of separating the yolk from the egg whites. The good news: Most egg substitutes are cholesterol free.
     
  • Store-bought corn bread can be high in fat. Make your own low-fat, whole wheat corn bread to use in this recipe to save calorie and fat, and increase fiber content, too.

Here is an insider tip you need to know:
  • Turkey broth costs about $1.29 per 14-ounce can. Instead of buying the store-bought versions, save your turkey and/or chicken bones and make your own broth for pennies. Freeze the broth in freezer-safe bags or buy reusable, plastic containers.
