Wow, you wouldn't even know this was a low-sodium dish. It tasted every bit as good as my family's traditional Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. It's very tasty, and the combination of apples mushrooms, nuts and various spices made it a good side dish for the roast chicken that it was served with. I made this for Please Review My Recipe tag game, and I'm glad I did.
