Steps:
- Spread the Skillet Cornbread and French bread cubes out on 2 baking sheets and let them dry for about 24 hours until totally crisp. Once dry, transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl and toss to mix them up a bit.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Warm up a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the butter. When it's melted, add the celery, carrots and onions, and cook for a few minutes until the onions are almost translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the rosemary, thyme, sage and turmeric. Gradually ladle the broth mixture into the bread, tossing lightly as you go. Keep gradually adding the broth mixture, tasting as you go and adding more seasoning and herbs if needed. Add salt carefully. You don't want to over salt your stuffing. If the mixture is not quite moist enough, add a bit more chicken broth and stir. Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Place the dressing in a rectangular baking dish and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the shortening in a cast-iron skillet. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk and egg until fully combined. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until well combined. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup melted shortening and add to the batter, stirring constantly. Pour into the hot skillet, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

HOLIDAY CORNBREAD DRESSING
When I was growing up, as far back as I can remember, Meme made this dressing at Thanksgiving and Christmas in her big, old turkey roaster. It looked like enough to feed Cox's army, but we always managed to eat it all! Dressing takes a little practice, to get the seasonings and the texture just right, which is why Meme's...

Steps:
- 1. Prepare cornbread mix according to directions and bake on a large cookie sheet. Allow to cool and dry out (best to prepare the day before).
- 2. In very large mixing bowl, crumble cornbread into small pieces.
- 3. In large saucepan, boil celery and onions in three cans of chicken broth, until tender. Add sage, sugar, salt and pepper to liquid. Allow to cool, then pour broth over cornbread and mix well.
- 4. Peel and chop the boiled eggs and add to the cornbread mixture; mix again. If mixture is dry, add more broth, one can at a time, until mixture is almost "soupy".
- 5. Taste dressing and add more sage, sugar, salt & pepper, as needed, until it tastes "right".
- 6. Pour mixture into a greased roasting pan and cover with foil. Use a large enough pan that mixture is no more than about two inches deep in the pan, in order to cook well. Bake dressing at 350 degrees for an hour.
- 7. Remove foil and bake another 15 - 30 minutes, or until knife inserted in middle of pan comes out clean. DO NOT OVERCOOK or dressing will be too dry.
Tips for Making the Best Cornbread Dressing:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh cornbread, savory sausage, and flavorful herbs and spices make all the difference in the taste of your dressing. - Don't overcook the cornbread. Overcooked cornbread will make your dressing dry and crumbly. Bake it just until it's set in the center. - Use a variety of textures. A combination of soft cornbread, crispy bacon, and crunchy celery and onion adds interest and depth to your dressing. - Season the dressing well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce for extra flavor. - Cook the dressing thoroughly. Make sure the center of the dressing reaches 165°F before serving. - Let the dressing rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to set.Conclusion:
Cornbread dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. Whether you're serving it at a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.
