CHORIZO AND CORNBREAD STUFFING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring occasionally as it cooks, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have browned, about 10 minutes. Add the crumbled cornbread and cilantro and gradually pour in enough of the stock so the stuffing is not too dry but at the same time not too wet. Stir gently and well.
- Butter a small casserole dish. Spread the stuffing in an even layer. Bake until it's heated through and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes. Serve right away, garnished with the cilantro and cotija, if desired.

CHORIZO & CRANBERRY CORNBREAD STUFFING
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a shallow two-quart baking dish and a sheet of foil if casserole does not have a tight-fitting lid. If cooking other items, toast the cornbread ahead of time.
- In a microwave-safe container, at least one cup in volume, heat vinegar and three tablespoons water to a boil in the microwave, about 1 minute. Add the cranberries and let sit until plump, about 15 minutes. Drain and reserve both cranberries and liquid.
- Meanwhile, if not packaged and already dry throughout, spread cornbread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown, 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes Let cool. Place in a very large bowl. Add the soaked cherries, but at this point do not mix, and do not mix in any of the added items until instructed.
- In a large skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking into small pieces with a wire type potato masher or spoon, until browned and cooked through five to six minutes. If chorizo starts to stick, add a little water and cook until water burns off. Transfer chorizo to the bowl with the cornbread, using a slotted spoon and leaving any drippings behind.
- Add onions and celery to skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown and soft, eight to ten minutes. Add garlic and poultry seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper and stir. Transfer to the bowl with the cornbread.
- Reduce heat to medium and add reserved cherry soaking liquid to skillet, scraping up any browned bits, until almost all evaporated about 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup butter (the butter not in pieces) and melt, scraping skillet if needed. Drizzle over the cornbread in the bowl.
- Whisk egg and 2 cups stock in a medium bowl; pour over cornbread mixture. Gently toss, adding more stock by the quarter cupful as needed (you may not use it all), until combined and cornbread is moist. Mix carefully to avoid breaking cornbread into crumbs. Transfer to prepared dish.
- Cover with buttered foil or casserole lid; bake until a paring knife inserted into the center comes out hot, 15 to 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 450°. Uncover, dot with the butter pieces and bake until top is golden brown and crisp another 10 to 20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Utilize day-old bread: Stale bread creates a better texture in stuffing. Fresh bread can be toasted in the oven to achieve a similar result.
- Don't overstuff the bird: Overstuffing can lead to uneven cooking and a soggy stuffing. Aim to fill the cavity loosely, leaving some room for expansion.
- Roast the stuffing separately: If you're concerned about undercooked stuffing, roast it in a separate dish alongside the turkey. This ensures even cooking and a crispy top.
- Add moisture: Dry stuffing can be unappetizing. Consider adding broth, melted butter, or even fruit juice to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Season well: Don't be afraid to season your stuffing liberally. Herbs, spices, and salt and pepper are all essential for creating a flavorful dish.
