CORNBREAD & SAUSAGE STUFFING



Cornbread & Sausage Stuffing image

This old-fashioned Southern cornbread stuffing has a rich, almost spoon bread consistency.

Categories     Vegetables & Sides

Yield 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1¾ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
1¼ cup yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
1½ tablespoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons salt
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
1 lb bulk hot pork sausage
2 medium yellow onions, diced
3 celery ribs, diced
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
5 garlic cloves, chopped
¼ cup finely chopped fresh herb blend (I use equal parts thyme, rosemary and sage)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Butter and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or spray with a nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk and whisk until evenly combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until lightly golden around the edges and set, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack until cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 250°F and set the oven rack in the middle position. Cut the cornbread into 1-inch squares. Place the cut cornbread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 1 hour. Cool the cornbread on the baking sheet, about 15 minutes.
  • Place the sausage in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring and breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to the largest bowl you have (it needs to fit all the cornbread), leaving the fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, celery, and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Off the heat, mix in the herbs. Add the vegetable mixture to the bowl with the sausage and mix to combine.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, broth, and salt.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Add the dried cornbread cubes to the sausage and vegetable mixture. Pour the egg mixture over top. Fold the mixture a few times with a large rubber spatula, being careful not to break up the cornbread too much. Let the mixture sit, folding carefully a few times, until the cornbread is saturated, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the soaked cornbread mixture to the prepared pan, making sure the sausage and vegetables are evenly distributed. Try to arrange some of the larger pieces of cornbread on top; it looks prettier. Dot the top of the stuffing with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve warm.
  • Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cornbread can be prepared up to two days ahead of time. Cut it into cubes and let it dry out on the countertop overnight instead of toasting it in the oven. If you'd like the assemble the stuffing in advance, prepare it up until the point of baking, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to a day ahead of time. When ready to serve, bake as directed, allowing a few extra minutes in the oven. It can also be frozen after baking, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve it, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Reheat it, covered with foil, in a 325°F oven until hot.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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.

SAUSAGE, CRANBERRY, AND CORN BREAD STUFFING



Sausage, Cranberry, and Corn Bread Stuffing image

Categories     Onion     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Cranberry     Sausage     Cornmeal     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 loavesCorn Bread
2 cups pecans
7 leeks (about 1 pound; white and pale green parts only)
3 celery ribs
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage (about 3 links)
2 cups fresh or unthawed frozen cranberries
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325° F.
  • Cut corn bread into 1/2-inch cubes and in 2 large shallow baking pans bake in middle of oven until just dry, about 20 minutes. Transfer corn bread from 1 pan to a large bowl and in pan toast pecans in oven until insides are golden, 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Halve leeks lengthwise and then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl of cold water wash leeks well and lift from water into a sieve to drain. Chop celery. In a 12-inch skillet cook leeks and celery in butter with salt and pepper to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until leeks are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove sausage from casings and break into small pieces. Add sausage to leek mixture and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, or until sausage is cooked through.
  • In a small heavy saucepan cook cranberries with sugar over moderately high heat, stirring, 5 minutes, or until some begin to burst. Chop parsley.
  • To bowl of corn bread add remaining corn bread cubes, pecans, sausage mixture, cranberries, parsley, broth, and salt and pepper to taste and toss together. Cool stuffing completely. Stuffing may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring stuffing to room temperature before proceeding.
  • For cooking stuffing inside poultry:
  • Any frozen poultry destined for stuffing should be completely thawed, and the stuffing itself brought to room temperature before it's put into the turkey. Do not stuff your bird the night before you cook it; such a seeming time-saver can have dangerous results. Instead, it is best to loosely fill the bird's neck and body cavities immediately before roasting. And always use a meat or instant-read thermometer: The meat is done when the temperature of the thickest part of the thigh (be careful not to touch the bones) reaches 180°F.; the stuffing baked inside the bird is done at 160°-165°F. After roasting, let your stuffed poultry stand 15 to 20 minutes, a double assurance that the requisite temperatures for food safety have been reached.
  • For cooking all or part of stuffing outside poultry:
  • In a shallow baking dish bake stuffing in preheated 325° F. oven 1 hour (for moist stuffing, bake covered entire time; for less moist stuffing with a slightly crisp top, uncover halfway through baking time).

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
½ pound good-quality day-old crusty country-style or peasant bread, torn into ¾" pieces (about 5 cups)
½ pound day-old cornbread, broken into ¾" pieces (about 5 cups)
1 pound breakfast sausage links, casings removed, or ground breakfast sausage mix, broken up into ½" pieces
2½ cups chopped onions (about 1 medium plus 1 large onion)
3 medium celery stalks, sliced

  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Break sausage into ½" pieces and cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller (about ¼") pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread but do not stir.
  • Heat remaining 1 stick butter in same skillet over medium-high. Cook onions and celery, stirring often and scraping browned bits off bottom of pan, until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread mixture and let cool.

  • Increase oven temperature to 350°F. Transfer mixture to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake stuffing until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F, 40-45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until set and top is browned and crisped, 45-50 minutes more.
  • DO AHEAD: Stuffing can be assembled, but not baked, 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. When ready to bake, bring to room temperature and bake according to recipe. Stuffing can be baked 1 day ahead. Let cool completely, then cover with foil and chill. Keep covered and bake in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 25-30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is crisped, 7-10 minutes more.

CORN BREAD-SAUSAGE STUFFING



Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing image

Fresh herbs enhance any basic stuffing, like this recipe based on cornmeal. You may want to add toasted nuts, like chestnuts, pecans or walnuts. It can be prepared a day ahead -- I find that it is better that way -- and reheated in a warm oven. Serve it alongside a roast turkey breast.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound ground sweet or hot sausage meat
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
3 cups cubed corn bread
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, or 1 tablespoon dried
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1 cup chicken broth, fresh or canned
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Put sausage meat in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, breaking up lumps, until meat loses raw look. Drain fat.
  • Add onions, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Add corn bread, pecans, salt, pepper, sage, parsley, broth and egg. Blend well, and smooth over the top. Cover with foil and bake, along with turkey, 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bread cubes. This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. You can use white bread, cornbread, or a mixture of both.
  • Toast the bread cubes before using them. This will help them to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the stuffing. This will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from becoming watery.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the stuffing, so be sure to choose one that you like. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of both.
  • Season the stuffing well. Be sure to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Cook the stuffing until it is heated through. The internal temperature of the stuffing should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Cornbread stuffing with sausage and corn nuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. With its combination of sweet cornbread, savory sausage, and crunchy corn nuts, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
