dressing or stuffing you name it

This is one of the hardest to make sodium free... first of all, stuff your bird with onions, garlic, and fresh herbs.  If you brine your bird, according to America's Test Kitchen you can reduce your sodium level by using No Salt or other salt substitute instead of salt. It's the potassium chloride that helps in the brining process.

Buy Kroger's low-sodium wheat bread.
Cube 10 slices of bread and put in a bowl overnight or on a baking sheet in the oven on its lowest setting.
Dice one medium onion, two stalks of celery, and shred one carrot. In a skillet melt one stick of unsalted butter, add vegetables and sauté until tender . Toss bread cubes and veggies together. Drizzle enough low-sodium chicken broth to moisten .
Beat one egg and mix into dressing.
Season with rosemary, thyme, and sage.
Pour into a buttered baking dish.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes covered. Then remove and bake an additional 10 minutes until top is crispy.
