CORNBREAD AND ANDOUILLE DRESSING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage until brown and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Add onions, celery, bell peppers, and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- With your fingers, crumble the corn bread into the bowl, add bread, the green onions, parsley, and thyme, and mix well with your hands. Add the salt, pepper, cayenne, and eggs, and mix well with your hands. Add enough broth, 1/2 cup at a time, to moisten the dressing, being careful not to make it mushy.
- Transfer to the prepared dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake until heated through, about 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a 9-inch baking pan or heavy cast iron skillet. Place the pan into the oven as it preheats, allowing it to heat for at least 10 minutes.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne in a large mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Add the buttermilk and egg to the mixture, and stir well to blend. Pour the cornmeal batter into the preheated pan and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving or using in the dressing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sour cream, milk, eggs, salt and melted butter. Bake in a greased loaf pan for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and when a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in pan.
- Let oven temperature reduce to 400 degrees F.
- For the Turkey:
- Rinse turkey breast and pat dry with paper towels. Slip chunks of butter under the skin. Season turkey breast with garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste, and roast in 400 degrees F oven until it reaches an internal temperature of about 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- For the Dressing:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute sausage until browned. Remove to a utility platter with a slotted spoon and pour most of the fat from the pan leaving about 1 tablespoon. Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic, celery, parsley, sage and thyme until onion is translucent, being careful not to burn them. Remove from heat and set aside briefly. Cut cornbread into cubes or break it up with your hands into a large bowl (depending on the texture you like). Spoon the sauteed vegetables and herbs over the cornbread. Stir or use your hands to combine well and add enough chicken stock to moisten. Transfer to a baking pan and place in the oven until crispy on the outside, for approximately the last 25 minutes of the turkey's roasting time. Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish in a warm place.
- For the Gravy:
- When turkey is done, remove breast to a platter to let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Skim most of the fat from the pan juices, reserving 1/3 cup of the fat. Add wine to the remaining pan juices and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half. In a separate saucepan, heat reserved 1/3 cup of fat and whisk in flour over moderately-low heat for a few minutes to make a roux. Add chicken stock and reduced wine, continuing to cook until gravy simmers.
- Slice turkey and arrange on plate. Serve with cornbread dressing and gravy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with only one rack in the lowest position. Stir together melted butter and wine in a bowl. Fold a very large piece of cheesecloth into quarters so that it is large enough to cover breast and halfway down sides of turkey. Immerse cloth in butter mixture.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Fold wing tips under. Season inside turkey with salt and pepper. Loosely fill body and neck cavities with stuffing. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Fold neck flap under; secure with toothpicks. Rub turkey all over with the 4 tablespoons softened butter; season with salt and pepper.
- Remove cheesecloth from butter mixture, squeezing gently into bowl; reserve butter mixture for brushing. Lay cheesecloth over turkey. Place turkey, legs first, into oven. Roast 30 minutes. Brush cheesecloth and exposed turkey with butter mixture. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Roast, brushing with butter mixture every 30 minutes and rotating once, 2 1/2 hours; tent with foil if browning too quickly. Pour 1/2 cup water into pan if juices are very dark brown.
- Discard cheesecloth; rotate pan. Baste turkey with pan juices. Roast, rotating pan halfway through, until skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (and the stuffing) registers 165 degrees, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more, basting turkey every 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Let turkey stand at room temperature 30 minutes, tented with foil, before carving. Garnish with herbs if desired.

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy skin on your turkey, ensure it is completely dry before roasting. Pat it down with paper towels, inside and out, and refrigerate it uncovered for at least 12 hours or overnight.
- For a flavorful and juicy turkey, brine it for at least 12 hours before cooking. A brine solution typically consists of water, salt, sugar, and herbs, which helps enhance the turkey's natural flavors.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked to the proper internal temperature. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, making sure it doesn't touch any bones. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and moist turkey.
- For the cornbread andouille dressing, use day-old cornbread for the best texture. It should be slightly dry and crumbly, which will help it hold its shape when mixed with the other ingredients.
- Sauté the vegetables for the dressing until they are softened and slightly caramelized. This will add depth of flavor to the dressing.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary, to the dressing for an extra burst of flavor.
Conclusion:
This jerk-roasted turkey with cornbread andouille dressing is a delicious and flavorful dish perfect for a special occasion or holiday meal. The turkey is succulent and juicy, with a crispy skin and a slightly spicy jerk rub. The cornbread dressing is moist and flavorful, with a hint of smokiness from the andouille sausage. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
