Perfect Polenta Dressing image

This recipe is a result of many years of experimentation to come up with a dressing that my whole family loves. It is a wonderful complement to the requisite holiday turkey, but is equally delicious when served with a smoked pork loin or leg of lamb.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups chicken stock
1 egg yolk
½ cup yellow cornmeal
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
cooking spray
½ pound reduced-fat hot Italian sausage
1 large yellow onion, minced
1 cup minced fennel bulb
1 large clove garlic, crushed
4 cups cubed Italian bread
½ cup finely chopped dried pears
2 tablespoons minced flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon finely shredded fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced summer savory leaves
⅓ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Whisk chicken stock, egg yolk, cornmeal, kosher salt, and white pepper together in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil; cook and stir until cornmeal absorbs all the chicken stock, about 8 minutes. Remove polenta from heat and cool.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook and stir sausage, onion, fennel, and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until sausage is fully cooked and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir sausage mixture into polenta until fully incorporated. Add bread cubes, pears, parsley, balsamic vinegar, sage, summer savory, and nutmeg; stir to combine. Transfer polenta mixture to the prepared casserole dish; cover with an oven-proof lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until polenta dressing is cooked through and slightly browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes.
