Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 24

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup nonfat milk (at room temperature)
1 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice
1 cup yellow cornmeal (I use medium grind)
1 cup white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
2 ½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs
1 pound sweet Italian chicken sausage or turkey sausage
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
4 stalks celery (cut in small dice)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
½ cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon parsley flakes or 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium firm tart apple (such as Granny smith) (peeled and 1/2-inch diced)

Steps:

  • Bake the cornbread (do this up to 2 days in advance): Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, with a baking rack on the middle level. Coat an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Melt the butter and let come to room temperature.
  • In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the milk and vinegar. Allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the milk has curdled slightly (you can also swap the milk for buttermilk, omit the vinegar, and skip this step). Stir in the honey, eggs, and melted butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the wet ingredients and fold gently to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until the cornbread is light and golden brown, with a deeper golden brown at the edges. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean. Set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • Once the cornbread is cool, cut it into 1-inch cubes (since the pan of cornbread is thicker than 1 inch, I cut mine into 1-inch cubes from the top, then turn each "row" of cubes on its side and then cut it in half again through the middle). Spread in a single layer on an ungreased or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. The cubes can touch, but don't overlap them (if your pan is too small, divide them onto two pans). Toast in the oven for 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the stuffing: Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. In a very large bowl, whisk together the eggs and chicken broth.
  • In a large skillet on the stove, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the sausage to the skillet (if it's in its casing, you can squeeze them into the skillet directly). Cook, breaking up the meat into crumbles. Add the apple.
  • Continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through almost completely, about 4 minutes more, then stir in the cranberries, sage, thyme, and parsley.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool a few minutes. Pour into the bowl with the broth and eggs, along with any cooking juices.
  • To the bowl, add the toasted cornbread cubes. With your largest spoon, stir very gently to combine the ingredients. Continue stirring and folding, until everything is evenly moistened.
  • Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until toasted on top and the center is moist but not overly damp. Serve warm.

CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLES



Cornbread Stuffing With Sausage and Apples image

This is the Thanksgiving stuffing that most of my family prefers. I got it from Food TV. It's a recipe from Cock N' Bull Restaurant, Peddler's Village, Lahaska, Pennsylvania. The first time I made it, my kid's asked.." you're putting apples in the stuffing?..Yuck" But they gobbled it down.. they never used to even like stuffing at all before this one. Then every year since then, they beg for "the stuffing with the apples in it" This year, I'm making two kinds of stuffing. Bev has a near duplicate of my Grandmas stuffing, #44692 which I love so much. So I'm making both this year. I'm posting this so it is easy for me to find closer to Bird Day! It's moist and tasty. I usually make it in my slow cooker, but it's meant for stuffing a bird.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Yield Makes enough stuffing for a 12- to 15-pound turkey

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
4 medium red onions, finely chopped
8 celery stalks, finely chopped
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place cornbread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until dry, about 20 minutes; set aside.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook sausage until it's no longer pink. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Melt butter in the same saute pan. Add onion and celery, and cook over medium heat until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add apples and cranberries, stir to combine, and cook 5 minutes. Add half-and-half, and cook, stirring for 3 minutes. Add sage, and remove from heat. Transfer to a large bowl. Add cornbread and sausage; stir to combine. Let cool completely before stuffing the turkey, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful stuffing, use a combination of chicken broth and melted butter to moisten the bread cubes.
  • Toast the bread cubes in the oven before adding them to the stuffing mixture. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Sauté the sausage until it is browned and cooked through before adding it to the stuffing mixture.
  • Add chopped celery, onion, and apples for a classic stuffing flavor.
  • Season the stuffing mixture with salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and poultry seasoning to taste.
  • Bake the stuffing in a greased casserole dish at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until it is heated through.

Conclusion:

Cornbread stuffing with apples and sausage is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. With its combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
