REAL SOUTHERN HERBED CORNBREAD STUFFING
NO bread, NO oysters, NO sausage, NO Eggs, NO Giblets. Simply the best cornbread stuffing you will ever put in your mouth. This is one of those 'secret' recipes handed down from my grandmother's grandmother. It has never been written down until now, but was taught in the kitchen to each generation during the holidays while helping grandma prepare the stuffing and listening to the stories of when they were little girls in the kitchen helping their grandmas.

EASY CORNBREAD-BROWN BUTTER STUFFING
For many people, Thanksgiving is one big excuse to eat lots of stuffing. This one is particularly easy to make. Prepare cornbread using any recipe you'd like, then let it sit out until it gets a little stale. Crumble it into large pieces and then sauté with aromatics in deeply browned butter. Be sure to really let the butter brown: that's where much of the flavor is. Drizzle any remaining brown butter over the top of the stuffing once you've transferred it to the baking dish - that will make the top nice and crispy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender; remove from heat. In large bowl, mix celery mixture and remaining stuffing ingredients until well blended.
- Stuff turkey just before roasting, not ahead of time. Fill wishbone area lightly with stuffing. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly. (Do not pack--stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.
- In small bowl, mix rosemary, 1 tablespoon sage, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic; rub into turkey skin. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with 1/4 cup butter. Do not add water. Place meat thermometer in thickest part of inside thigh muscle so thermometer does not touch bone.
- Roast uncovered 4 to 5 hours, brushing with pan juices every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Thermometer placed in center of stuffing should read 165°F.
- Place foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turns golden. When turkey is two-thirds done, cut band of skin, or remove string or skewer holding legs. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 20 minutes for easiest carving. While turkey is standing, prepare Foolproof Gravy if desired.
- To serve, garnish turkey with fresh herb sprigs, if desired.

HERB AND BACON CORN-BREAD STUFFING
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325° F. and butter a 4-quart baking dish.
- Cut corn bread into 1/2-inch cubes and dry in 2 large shallow baking pans in oven 20 minutes. Remove corn bread from oven and leave oven at 325° F. Coarsely chop separately celery, onions, and bacon.

- Don't overstuff the cornbread: The stuffing should be moist, but not soggy. If you overstuff the cornbread, it will become dense and heavy.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give the stuffing more flavor. Some good options include sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make cornbread stuffing. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients.
