Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, chopped
6 large cornmeal muffins, cubed
Handful fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 egg
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Add sage and scrape into a large mixing bowl. Add the cornbread pieces, season well with salt and pepper, and give it a good toss until it's well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and stock, and pour that over the cornbread. Stir the stuffing together and stuff the cavity of the turkey. You could also spoon it into a buttered baking dish and put it in the oven along with the turkey. Bake until hot and crusty on top, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use flavorful bread: Cornbread, sourdough, or French bread can add a distinctive flavor to your stuffing.
  • Sauté aromatics: Sautéing onions, celery, and garlic in butter adds depth of flavor to the stuffing.
  • Use flavorful broth: Chicken or vegetable broth adds moisture and flavor to the stuffing. If you want a richer flavor, try using half broth and half white wine.
  • Add moisture: If the stuffing seems dry, add a little more broth or melted butter. You can also add moisture by using moist vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers.
  • Season well: Season the stuffing with salt, pepper, herbs, and spices to taste. Fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage, and rosemary, add a delicious flavor to stuffing.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the stuffing until it is golden brown and crispy on top. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onion and cornbread stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with roasted chicken, turkey, or pork. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread. With its combination of sweet caramelized onions, flavorful cornbread, and savory herbs and spices, this stuffing is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering.
