Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 24

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup nonfat milk (at room temperature)
1 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice
1 cup yellow cornmeal (I use medium grind)
1 cup white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
2 ½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs
1 pound sweet Italian chicken sausage or turkey sausage
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
4 stalks celery (cut in small dice)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
½ cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon parsley flakes or 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium firm tart apple (such as Granny smith) (peeled and 1/2-inch diced)

Steps:

  • Bake the cornbread (do this up to 2 days in advance): Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, with a baking rack on the middle level. Coat an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Melt the butter and let come to room temperature.
  • In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the milk and vinegar. Allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the milk has curdled slightly (you can also swap the milk for buttermilk, omit the vinegar, and skip this step). Stir in the honey, eggs, and melted butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the wet ingredients and fold gently to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until the cornbread is light and golden brown, with a deeper golden brown at the edges. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean. Set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • Once the cornbread is cool, cut it into 1-inch cubes (since the pan of cornbread is thicker than 1 inch, I cut mine into 1-inch cubes from the top, then turn each "row" of cubes on its side and then cut it in half again through the middle). Spread in a single layer on an ungreased or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. The cubes can touch, but don't overlap them (if your pan is too small, divide them onto two pans). Toast in the oven for 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the stuffing: Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. In a very large bowl, whisk together the eggs and chicken broth.
  • In a large skillet on the stove, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the sausage to the skillet (if it's in its casing, you can squeeze them into the skillet directly). Cook, breaking up the meat into crumbles. Add the apple.
  • Continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through almost completely, about 4 minutes more, then stir in the cranberries, sage, thyme, and parsley.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool a few minutes. Pour into the bowl with the broth and eggs, along with any cooking juices.
  • To the bowl, add the toasted cornbread cubes. With your largest spoon, stir very gently to combine the ingredients. Continue stirring and folding, until everything is evenly moistened.
  • Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until toasted on top and the center is moist but not overly damp. Serve warm.

CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH SAUSAGE, APPLES AND MUSHROOMS



Cornbread Dressing with Sausage, Apples and Mushrooms image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 4h10m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups artisan/crusty bread (such as ciabatta), cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
32 ounces white button or crimini mushrooms
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound Italian sausage
1 large onion, diced
5 Granny Smith apples, large dice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup white wine
32 ounces low-sodium (very low) chicken broth
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon turmeric (or more to taste)
Black pepper
Fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Allow the cubed bread to sit out on cookie sheets for several hours or overnight, until completely dried out.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. The mushrooms will be very coated, but that's good! Divide the mushrooms between 2 cookie sheets and roast in the upper half of the oven for at least 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through roasting. Remove from the oven when the mushrooms are deep brown. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, crumble and brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Pour off any excess grease and, without cleaning the skillet, add in the diced onions and brown for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the diced apples, brown sugar and some salt. Cook until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium and pour in the wine (be careful if you're using an open flame). Stir and cook to reduce the liquid by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the apple/onion mixture into a bowl and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat (again, without washing) and add the chicken broth, rosemary, sage, thyme, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Heat for a few minutes, and then set aside.
  • Add the bread to a large bowl, and then add the browned sausage, mushrooms and apple/onion mixture (and any juice that might have accumulated). Next, add the broth mixture gradually as you toss the ingredients, being prepared to not use all of the liquid according to your taste.
  • Check the seasonings at the end and add in minced parsley. Pour into a large baking dish (I used an iron skillet) and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. (Or you can stuff the turkey if you're into that kind of thing.)
  • Delicious!

CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLES



Cornbread Stuffing With Sausage and Apples image

This is the Thanksgiving stuffing that most of my family prefers. I got it from Food TV. It's a recipe from Cock N' Bull Restaurant, Peddler's Village, Lahaska, Pennsylvania. The first time I made it, my kid's asked.." you're putting apples in the stuffing?..Yuck" But they gobbled it down.. they never used to even like stuffing at all before this one. Then every year since then, they beg for "the stuffing with the apples in it" This year, I'm making two kinds of stuffing. Bev has a near duplicate of my Grandmas stuffing, #44692 which I love so much. So I'm making both this year. I'm posting this so it is easy for me to find closer to Bird Day! It's moist and tasty. I usually make it in my slow cooker, but it's meant for stuffing a bird.

CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING



Cornbread, Sausage, Apple, & Pecan Stuffing image

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".

Categories     Breads

Time 2h10m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks)
2 cups finely-chopped yellow onions
3 tart apples, cored and chunked, but not peeled (Jonathan, Winesap or Granny Smith)
1 lb bulk breakfast sausage, with sage (or your favorite bulk sausage)
3 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
3 cups coarsely crumbled whole wheat bread or 3 cups multi-grain bread
3 cups coarsely crumbled French bread or 3 cups Italian bread
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sage
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups shelled pecan halves (do not chop)
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (optional, for a more moist dressing)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
  • Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
  • In same skillet, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
  • Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
  • With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.
  • When done, remove with a slotted spoon and add it to the mixing bowl.
  • Reserve drippings for basting later.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and combine gently.
  • If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
  • To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
  • Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
  • Serve hot or warm.
  • Note: You may need to use additional broth (approximately one 14 ounce can) as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.
  • Note: To make these as individual stuffing muffins, add one egg to the mix before baking to help the muffins keep their shape.
