Sausage, Cornbread and Cherry Stuffing image

Provided by Martina McBride

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for the casserole dish
1 pound pork sausage, casings removed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ribs celery, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
10 cups crumbled cornbread, toasted
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup dried cherries, chopped
2 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 4-quart shallow casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the sausage drippings. Add the butter to the skillet, then add the celery and onions. Cook, scraping up any brown bits that are on the bottom of the skillet, until the vegetables are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl and add the cornbread and reserved sausage. Add the chicken stock, cherries and eggs. Stir to coat gently and soften the cornbread. (Do not overmix or the cornbread pieces will turn to mush.) Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake until the stuffing is set, about 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Challah bread
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups chopped onions, leeks or scallions
2 cups diced celery
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth

1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 1/4 pounds mushrooms, sliced and sauteed in butter
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Heat 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth; bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook the wild rice as the label directs. Beat the eggs and parsley in a large bowl; stir in the bread cubes, the vegetable-broth mixture, the prepared rice and the mushrooms. Stir in the raisins.
  • Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-to-4-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, about 20 more minutes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted, plus more for casserole
1 recipe Cornbread, day old, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 loaf Pumpkin Challah, day old, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup dried apricots, diced

1/2 cup dried figs, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or low-sodium canned chicken broth, skimmed of fat

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a large casserole dish, and set aside. Place cornbread and challah in a large bowl with apricots, cranberries, cherries, figs, sage, marjoram, salt, and pepper, and toss well. Pour chicken stock and melted butter over mixture, and stir to combine.
  • Place mixture in prepared casserole. Bake uncovered until golden brown on top and heated through, 45 minutes. If stuffing becomes too brown while baking, tent with aluminum foil.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stuffing will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in this recipe to your liking. Taste the stuffing as you go and add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
  • Stuff the Bird Just Before Roasting: To prevent the stuffing from drying out, stuff the bird just before you roast it. This will help the stuffing stay moist and flavorful.
  • Let the Stuffing Rest: After you remove the bird from the oven, let the stuffing rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the stuffing set and make it easier to carve.

Conclusion:

This Challah Sausage and Dried Cherry Stuffing is the perfect side dish for your holiday feast. It's easy to make, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive stuffing recipe, give this one a try!
