And of course, no stuffing would be complete without a generous helping of caramelized onions.

This recipes comes from the Food Network courtesy of Tyler Florence. I made this for Thanksgiving this year. The amount of chicken stock was listed as 1/4 cup, this was cooked in a small pan in the oven and I found that I needed additional for the stuffing to be as moist as we liked.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Add sage and scrape into a large mixing bowl. Add the cornbread pieces, season well with salt and pepper, and give it a good toss until it's well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and stock, and pour that over the cornbread. Stir the stuffing together and stuff the cavity of the turkey. You could also spoon it into a buttered baking dish and put it in the oven along with the turkey. Bake until hot and crusty on top, about 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your stuffing.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. There are endless possibilities when it comes to seasoning your stuffing.
- Make sure your stuffing is moist. No one likes dry stuffing! Add some broth or milk to help keep it moist.
- Don't overcook your stuffing. Overcooked stuffing is tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is heated through.
- Let your stuffing rest before serving. This will help it to set and absorb all of the flavors.
Conclusion:
Caramelized onion and cornbread stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make a stuffing that will wow your guests.
