Yield Makes 16 cups of stuffing, enough for a 20- to 24-pound turkey

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 loaves cornbread, homemade or store-bought
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 pounds chorizo or andouille sausage sausages, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups chopped red or yellow onions
6 ribs celery, chopped
1 cup dried apricots, halved
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup coarsely chopped pecan halves
1/2 cup defatted chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 2.Cut the cornbread into 1-inch cubes. (You should have about 12 cups.) Place the cubes in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the cubes in 1 layer on 2 baking sheets; bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly toasted, shaking the pans occasionally. Cool and return to the bowl.
  • 3.Meanwhile, cook the chorizo in 2 batches in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo and add to the bowl of cornbread, discarding any fat.
  • 4.Place remaining olive oil and butter in a heavy saucepan. Wilt the onions and celery over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then stir in the apricots and cherries; cook for 5 to 10 minutes longer. Carefully fold into the cornbread along with the pecans, using a rubber spatula.
  • 5.Slowly drizzle in the broth until the stuffing is moist to your liking. Season with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature before stuffing the turkey.

This stuffing was a little too dry for my taste. I would add more liquid next time.
