Cornbread, Bacon, Leek, and Pecan Stuffing image

This stuffing is brimming with traditional holiday flavors, including leeks, herbs, and pecans. We used our Honey Cornbread recipe but left off the honey topping. Store-bought cornbread also works well.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups pecans
2 corn breads (rounds, squares, or loaves, 8 inches each), coarsely broken into 2-inch pieces (16 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for dish
8 slices smoked bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
4 celery stalks, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
4 leeks (white and pale-green parts only), chopped into 1/2-inch pieces, rinsed well
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups Homemade Turkey Stock, Chicken Stock, or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven for 7 minutes. Let cool slightly; coarsely chop. Mix together pecans and cornbread in a large bowl.
  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cook bacon in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until almost crisp, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add celery and leeks. Cook until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in thyme and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; season with pepper. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Return skillet to medium-high heat, and add stock; bring to a simmer, scraping up brown bits and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add to bowl with bacon-vegetable mixture. Stir in eggs. Gently mix in corn bread mixture. (Do not overmix.) Transfer to baking dish. Dot top with butter. Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Cornbread: The best cornbread for stuffing is a moist, dense cornbread that can hold up to the other ingredients. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a good quality store-bought cornbread.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms: Sautéing the mushrooms in butter before adding them to the stuffing will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Roast the Pecans: Roasting the pecans will help to bring out their nutty flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage, and rosemary, will add a lot of flavor to the stuffing.
  • Don't Overstuff the Bird: Be careful not to overstuff the bird, as this will make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Let the Stuffing Rest: After you have stuffed the bird, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.

Conclusion:

Cornbread, wild mushroom, and pecan stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. With its moist, flavorful cornbread, savory mushrooms, and crunchy pecans, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
