Steps:
- Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish; set aside. Scatter cornbread in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake, stirring often and rotating sheets halfway through, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool. Transfer to a very large mixing bowl.
- Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up into 1/2"-1" pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with cornbread but do not stir.
- Heat 3/4 cup butter in same skillet; add onions and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to cornbread in bowl.
- Return skillet to heat. Add vinegar; cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, for 1 minute. Pour into bowl with cornbread. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups broth, pecans, if using, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Add salt and pepper. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/2 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Fold gently into cornbread until thoroughly combined, taking care not to mash cornbread (mixture will look wet). Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instantread thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Uncover; let cool. Cover and chill.
- Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).
SKILLET SAUSAGE AND CORNBREAD DRESSING
Save space in the oven on the big day with this easy cornbread dressing. I start with a make-ahead buttermilk cornbread that has an extra depth of flavor, thanks to a dash of Dijon. A half hour before everyone sits down to the table, I saute some spicy sausage with Dijon mustard, vegetables, chestnuts and fresh herbs. After folding in the cornbread, the dish goes straight into a serving bowl -- leaving plenty of room for the other sides in the oven.

Steps:
- For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with butter.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, whole milk, oil, Dijon mustard and egg until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. The cornbread can be made up to 1 day in advance. Wrap tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
- For the stuffing: Crumble enough of the cornbread into large pieces to make 4 cups. Reserve the remaining cornbread for another use.
- Add the sausage to a large skillet over medium heat and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until the fat starts to render, about 8 minutes. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, fennel seed and celery salt and season with salt and pepper. Once the meat starts to brown and crisp, add the onion, carrot, celery, chestnuts, fennel, garlic and sage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned, the carrots become soft and tender and the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Add the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the wine to a boil and cook until mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock and Dijon mustard and bring to a simmer. Fold in the cornbread until completely incorporated and the bread is moist and heated through, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the stuffing to a serving bowl and garnish with the parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°F. Arrange sage in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until leaves darken, shrink slightly, and feel crisp, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely. Crumble 4 teaspoons' worth of leaves; reserve the rest for another use (stored in an air-tight container at room temperature up to 1 month).
- Increase oven temperature to 350 ̊F. Arrange pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until fragrant and slightly darkened, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Place 3 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron); heat in oven until it melts and starts to sizzle, 3 to 4 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, salt, and baking soda to combine. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and 3 whole eggs. Add to cornmeal mixture, whisking until smooth.
- Carefully remove skillet from oven, swirling to coat bottom and sides. Pour hot butter into batter; whisk to combine. Transfer batter to skillet and bake until set and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes, then flip out onto a wire rack; let cool completely. Break cornbread into bite-size pieces and spread them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 250°F and bake until dry and crisp, about 30 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 325°F. Brush a 3-quart baking dish with butter. Melt 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onions; season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and translucent but not developing any color, about 15 minutes. Stir in crumbled sage; cook 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine cornbread and vegetable mixture. Add 5 beaten eggs, stock, and pecans, stirring to combine. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter and stir into cornbread mixture.
- Transfer mixture to prepared dish; bake 50 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425°F, continue baking until dressing is set and top is browned, 10 to 12 minutes more. Serve warm, garnished with celery leaves.
PEPPER-AND-SAUSAGE CORNBREAD DRESSING
This dressing combines corn bread, turkey broth, three kinds of pepper and a healthy scattering of fiery sausage for a Thanksgiving dish that is crunchy on top, moist within and alive with flavor. The copious use of that turkey broth, or a good chicken broth, is crucial here; also necessary is an understanding that the cooking should last long enough to crisp the exterior without burning it, while not going on so long as to dry out the dish. When in doubt, add a splash more broth. And know that this dish works well for any gluten-avoiders at your table; the related cornbread recipe does not use wheat flour.

CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING
Breads, fruit, nuts, and sausage combine to make a tasty stuffing for a 20-lb turkey or a casserole of dressing on the side. If you're using a smaller turkey, you can put excess stuffing in a smaller casserole dish and bake it while the turkey's resting before carving. Southern influenced, this has become our favorite dressing for Thanksgiving or any special occasion. You could add other fruits (cranberry AND apple, for example) or different nuts or seasonings to suit your tastes. Adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook".

- Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spritz a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- 2. Place the two breads, pecans, and parsley in a very large mixing bowl and set aside.
- 3. Brown the bacon in a very large, heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring often, for 12 to 14 minutes until all the drippings render out. Drain the bacon on paper toweling and if you intend to use the drippings in the dressing, pour them into a measuring cup. You should have about 1 cup; if not, round out the measure with melted butter or vegetable oil.
- 4. Heat 1/2 cup of the melted butter or bacon drippings in the same skillet for about 1 minute over moderately high heat. Add the onions and celery and cook, stirring often, for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned. Add the sage and thyme, and cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes more.
- 5. Scoop the skillet mixture into the mixing bowl along with the reserved bacon and remaining melted butter or bacon drippings; toss well. Add 3 cups of the chicken broth, the eggs, salt, and pepper and toss well again.
- 6. Transfer the dressing to the baking pan, spreading to the edges, then drizzle the remaining 3 cups chicken broth evenly on top.
- 7. Cover snugly with heavy-duty foil and bake on the middle oven shelf for 25 minutes. Stir the dressing well, cover again with foil, and bake 20 minutes more or until steaming.
- 8. Serve hot with roast turkey, chicken, or pork and top with lots of gravy.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cornbread recipe. This is the foundation of your dressing, so make sure it's flavorful and moist.
- Don't overcook the sausage. It should be cooked through, but not dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your dressing.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to personalize your dressing.
- Make sure your dressing is moist. If it's too dry, it will be hard to eat.
- Serve your dressing warm. This is the best way to enjoy its flavors.
