Cauliflower Stuffing

Cauliflower takes the place of bread in the low-carb stuffing of your dreams.
Oops, I did it again. I took a beloved carb-heavy dish, ditched the bread, and added cauliflower instead. I realize some of you might think this is sacrilegious for a side dish so central to Thanksgiving, but come on, some of us don't want to gorge on carbs all night long (especially after learning the average person downs 4,500 calories in that single meal).
This dish had its share of skeptics before we even tested it, as many wondered whether the vegetable could really replace cubed bread (one recurring question: What would absorb all the flavor of the herbs and broth, if not stale bread?!). Like our other experiments with cauliflower, this recipe proved, once again, that the vegetable really is magical: It takes on a hearty, satisfying texture, and once you flavor it with the stuffing classics—onion, carrot, celery, and Thanksgiving herbs—you won't even miss the bread.
