3 slices white or whole wheat bread, torn into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 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.

  • 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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 servings of turkey and 2 1/2 cups of dressing

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups store-bought jerk sauce
1 10- to 12-pound turkey, giblets removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cornbread-Andouille Dressing (recipe follows)
1 cup unsalted butter or margarine, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, margarine or olive oil
1 cup 1/4-inch-diced turkey andouille sausage or smoked ham
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup finely diced celery, including some leaves
1/2 cup finely diced red or green bell pepper
1 1/2 cups stale homemade or store-bought cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning or Bell's Seasoning
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 cup chicken stock or broth, as needed

Steps:

  • Rub the jerk sauce evenly over the outside and inside of the turkey. Place the turkey breast-side down in a 2-gallon heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Refrigerate and marinate for 24 to 48 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Position the oven rack near the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350˚ F. Remove the turkey from the plastic bag. Wipe off the jerk sauce inside and out, pat the turkey dry, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Loosely pack the Cornbread-Andouille Dressing into the cavity. Pull back the skin over the breast and rub some butter under the skin. Rub the outside of the turkey with more butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Truss the turkey if desired, and place breast-side up in a large roasting pan at least 2 inches deep.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325˚ F and roast the turkey, basting frequently with the pan juices, until a meat thermometer registers 165˚ F, 3 to 3 1/2 hours; when the skin is golden brown, cover with foil to prevent over-browning. Remove the turkey from the oven and put it on a warmed platter. Cover loosely and let rest for 30 minutes before carving.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the sausage and cook about 2 minutes. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and saute until the vegetables are tender but not browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread cubes, poultry seasoning, thyme and salt and pepper. Stir in the cooled sausage mixture and egg.
  • Add the stock, a little at a time or as needed, until the mixture becomes moist but not wet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons granulated white sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh jalapeno pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
TO MAKE THE CORNBREAD DRESSING
1 tablespoon pomace olive oil or vegetable oil
3 cups finely diced Andouille sausage (quarter the sausage lengthwise and slice 1/4-inch thick)
8 cups finely diced yellow onions (1/4-inch pieces)
5 cups finely diced celery (1/4-inch pieces)
3 cups finely diced red, yellow and green bell peppers (1/4-inch pieces)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried whole-leaf thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
3/4 cup chicken or turkey stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs

Steps:

  • FOR THE CORNBREAD: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, add flour, corn meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, jalapenos, and green onions. Mix until well blended and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, add the eggs and whisk until frothy. Add melted butter and buttermilk and whisk until well blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Pour the cornbread batter into a buttered 9x12x2-inch baking pan and bake until the top is browned and a knife inserted into the middle of the cornbread comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. TO MAKE CORNBREAD DRESSING: Heat the oil in a pot over medium high heat. Add the Andouille and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned, 6-8 minutes. Add 6 cups of onions, 4 cups of celery, 2 cups bell peppers, and the bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables turn dark brown (caramelized), about 15 minutes. Add the remaining onions, celery, and bell peppers, the salt, thyme, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the second stage of onions become soft and clear, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Crumble the cooked cornbread. Add the cornbread and stock to the vegetable mixture. Mix until well blended. Transfer the cornbread/vegetable mixture to a shallow baking pan and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and set aside. Temper the eggs: In a mixing bowl, add the eggs and whisk until frothy. Add three large spoonfuls of the cornbread dressing, one at a time, mixing well after each spoonful. Fold the egg mixture back into the pan of the cornbread dressing. Add the softened butter and mix until well blended. Bake for 20 more minutes. Remove from oven.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your dressing stand out. Look for high-quality andouille sausage, cornbread, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Andouille sausage can become tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it's just browned and no longer pink in the center.
  • Use a variety of textures: A good dressing has a variety of textures, from the crispy cornbread to the tender vegetables and the chewy sausage. Make sure to include a variety of ingredients in your dressing to create a well-rounded dish.
  • Season to taste: Dressing can be bland if it's not properly seasoned. Be sure to taste the dressing as you're making it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Let the dressing rest: Allowing the dressing to rest for a few minutes before serving will help it to set and develop its flavors.

Conclusion:

Andouille cornbread dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. With its smoky sausage, sweet cornbread, and tender vegetables, andouille cornbread dressing is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
