Steps:
- For the dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Continue to cook until the butter begins to bubble and smoke. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bread cubes and poultry seasoning to the skillet and stir and fold the bread to toast it, 3 to 4 minutes. The bread should start to brown and should smell amazing.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle in about 1 cup of the broth and fold it into the bread. Drizzle in enough more broth to moisten the dressing but not make it soggy. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Once you're happy with the flavors, stir in the parsley and thyme.
- Dot the top of the dressing with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until browned, about 10 minutes longer.
- For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the tenderloin with the thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Press the seasonings firmly onto the pork.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil. When the first wisp of white smoke appears, add the pork and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 5 minutes, then flip the pork and return the skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the pork reaches 135 degrees F. Remove from the oven, transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F for a nice medium, 8 to 10 minutes. (If you want the pork a little more well done, remove from the oven at 140 degrees F and let rest until 145 degrees F.)
- For the quick gravy: Place the hot pan the pork cooked in back over medium-high heat. Toss in the butter and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is light brown and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir for another minute, making a rough roux. Slowly stir in the cold broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the gravy just simmers. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Finish by stirring in the cream.
- Slice the pork and serve it with the dressing and gravy, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and the onions. Saute until the onions are translucent. In the same skillet, add the sausage meat and cook until all the sausage has changed color and is cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the cornbread and fresh herbs and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest until cool.
- When cool add the whipped egg whites, heavy cream and melted butter and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Make a cut 1/4-inch from the top of the loin down the full length and roll the pork cutting at the same time, this will give you a flat piece of meat ( if you were to roll it back up it would look like it did before you cut it). Evenly spread the stuffing over the flattened pork loin and then re-roll it back to the original form.
- Tie together with butcher's twine, so the loin is tied every 1 to 2 inches. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to rest and firm up a bit.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a large skillet over high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil and sear the whole pork loin until golden brown all over, then transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F.
- Check the pork temperature after 10 minutes, as some ovens cook faster than others, and we don't want the meat to overcook. The loin should be removed from the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the loin to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil, to rest for 5 minutes. It will continue to cook and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Slice the pork and arrange on a serving platter to serve.
