CORNBREAD SAUSAGE STUFFING



Cornbread Sausage Stuffing image

I made this recipe over 45 years ago for the first pheasant I ever roasted-it was a special dinner I prepared to thank a wonderful sister and brother-in-law for all of their help when we bought our first home. To this day, it's a favorite with our friends and family when they come to visit.

CORNBREAD AND SAUSAGE STUFFING



Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing image

Some cooks use diced giblets (heart, gizzard, and liver) in addition to the pork sausage in order to give this cornbread-based stuffing an extra meaty taste. It's the perfect partner for our Roast Turkey with Herb Butter.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh pork sausage, casings removed, crumbled (plus giblets, diced; optional)
1 large onion, (about 2 cups), finely chopped
3 celery, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds prepared cornbread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (12 cups)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage (and giblets, if using) over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl.
  • To pan, add onion, celery, and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat to medium; cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add to sausage.
  • Add cornbread, sage, and eggs to sausage and vegetables. Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour 1/2 cup over stuffing, and toss gently (cornbread will break down into smaller pieces). If needed, add up to 1/2 cup more broth, until stuffing feels moist, but not wet. Stuff into turkey, using about 4 cups.
  • Spoon remaining stuffing into an 8" baking pan; it should reach the top. Bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispy cornbread stuffing, use a combination of cornbread cubes and cornmeal. This will help to create a crunchy texture that will hold up well in the stuffing.
  • If you don't have any leftover cornbread, you can make your own using a cornbread mix or recipe. Just be sure to let it cool completely before cubing it.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your cornbread stuffing, such as chopped celery, onion, carrots, apples, or cranberries. You can also add some herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary, for additional flavor.
  • If you're using sausage in your stuffing, be sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the stuffing mixture. This will help to prevent the stuffing from becoming greasy.
  • If you're making the stuffing ahead of time, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a holiday dinner or a casual get-together, your guests are sure to love it.
