Time 5h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

¾ cup cornmeal
1 ¼ cups water
1 cup whole wheat flour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ pound bacon, or more to taste
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 celery stalk, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 teaspoons poultry seasoning
4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 (1 pound) loaf rye bread, cubed
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 whole turkey, neck and giblets removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a pie pan.
  • In a bowl, mix cornmeal and water and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the egg and vegetable oil into the wet cornmeal; stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined and pour into the prepared pie pan.
  • Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a knife inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon when cool. Stir the onion, garlic, celery, red bell pepper, poultry seasoning, sage, and oregano into the bacon drippings left in the skillet; cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove cooled cornbread from the pie pan and cut into small cubes; place into a large bowl and mix in the rye bread cubes. Stir the bacon and cooked vegetables into the stuffing until well combined; drizzle the chicken broth into the dressing, stirring to evenly moisten the bread cubes.
  • Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Place turkey into a large roasting pan with a lid. Fill the body and neck cavities loosely with stuffing, folding the neck skin over the stuffing and securing in place with toothpicks. Place any leftover stuffing onto a large square of aluminum foil and fold and seal the edges to enclose the stuffing. Refrigerate stuffing packet until about 45 minutes before serving time.
  • Place the turkey in the oven, and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove lid after about 2 1/2 hours to brown skin. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. About 45 minutes before serving, bake the extra stuffing if desired.

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) melted unsalted butter, plus extra for baking pan
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
1 large onion, finely diced
3 ribs celery, finely diced
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely diced
1 pound fresh chorizo
10 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves chopped
3 to 4 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the milk, honey, vanilla, eggs and butter in another mixing bowl and whisk to thoroughly combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Mix gently to combine. When the mixture has just come together, transfer it to the prepared skillet or baking pan. Bake until golden around the edges and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool before cutting or wrapping in plastic wrap. Allow to sit, wrapped at room temperature, 1 to 2 days.
  • For the cornbread stuffing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the cornbread into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Coat a large saute pan over medium heat with olive oil, then add the onions and celery. Sprinkle with salt and cook the vegetables until they start to become soft and are very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chorizo and cook until it browns, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the sage and rosemary and remove from the heat.
  • Toss the chorizo mixture in the bowl with the cornbread cubes. Add the chicken stock and knead with your hands until the cornbread is very moist and wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed (it does). Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof serving dish.

Steps:

  • First, make Tia's Cornbread at least one day before serving the stuffing.

SIMPLE CORNBREAD STUFFING



Simple Cornbread Stuffing image

This is a family recipe (more method than recipe) for no frills, yummy cornbread stuffing from my grandma, who was a great cook. Take care to not put too much liquid in the dressing, but enough that it is moist. You can always add more liquid, but you can't take it out!

Provided by Sidney Street woman

Categories     Grains

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 casseroles, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 loaves day-old white bread
1 cornbread, baked
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup oil
3 stalks celery
1 onion
salt and pepper
2 -3 tablespoons dried sage
1 quart chicken broth
2 eggs
2 tablespoons dried parsley or 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Tear up bread into shreds or bite sized pieces and leave out to dry for a couple of hours while you make the cornbread and chop the onion and celery. Bake the cornbread (I often make a 9x13 pan the night before and we have some of it for dinner, saving the rest for the stuffing.) Put the bread into a very large bowl and crumble cornbread over the bread cubes. Sprinkle with sage, a little salt, and pepper, add parsley.
  • Saute' the onion and celery in butter or oil until translucent. Mix this with 2 cups of the chicken broth, and whisk in the 2 eggs. Pour the sauteed vegetables, broth, and egg mixture over the "two breads" mixture and mix gently with your hands. Add more broth as needed until the mixture is well moistened, but not soggy. Taste for salt and sage amounts and add more if needed.
  • Spoon stuffing into one very large or two medium greased casserole pan(s) or into the turkey cavity and bake until done (30-40 minutes) at whatever temperature you have everything else in the oven baking. Usually 350 is the best - watch that it doesn't dry out. You have to be flexible on Thanksgiving or whenever your oven is being used for other things!

Number Of Ingredients 11

Buttermilk Corn Bread
8 bacon slices
5 tablespoons butter
3 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped celery
1 cup chopped shallots
4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted, coarsely chopped
2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
3 large eggs, beaten to blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Cut corn bread into 3/4-inch cubes. Place corn bread cubes on baking sheet and toast until dry but not hard, about 15 minutes. Cool. Transfer to large bowl.
  • Butter 8x8x2-inch baking dish. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, transfer bacon to paper towels; reserve 1/4 cup bacon drippings in skillet. Cool bacon and crumble.
  • Add butter to bacon drippings in skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery and shallots; sauté just until pale golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in sage and thyme. Add to corn bread cubes in bowl. Mix in pecans and crumbled bacon. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Stir 1 1/2 cups chicken broth into stuffing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in eggs. Reserve 9 cups stuffing for turkey. Moisten remaining stuffing with remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth. Transfer to prepared dish. Bake stuffing in covered dish alongside turkey for 1 hour. Uncover stuffing and bake until top begins to crisp, about 5 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cornbread and not a mix.
  • Do not overmix the batter or the stuffing will be tough.
  • Be generous with the butter when greasing the pan to prevent sticking.
  • Bake the stuffing until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • If you are short on time, you can use store-bought cornbread instead of making your own.
  • You can add other ingredients to the stuffing, such as sausage, apples, or cranberries.
  • If you want a vegetarian stuffing, you can omit the sausage.
  • Serve the stuffing hot with your favorite holiday dishes.

Conclusion:

Cornbread stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it is a great option for busy cooks.
