Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Whole Turkey Recipes

Time 5h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

¾ cup cornmeal
1 ¼ cups water
1 cup whole wheat flour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ pound bacon, or more to taste
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 celery stalk, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 teaspoons poultry seasoning
4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 (1 pound) loaf rye bread, cubed
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 whole turkey, neck and giblets removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a pie pan.
  • In a bowl, mix cornmeal and water and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the egg and vegetable oil into the wet cornmeal; stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined and pour into the prepared pie pan.
  • Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a knife inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon when cool. Stir the onion, garlic, celery, red bell pepper, poultry seasoning, sage, and oregano into the bacon drippings left in the skillet; cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove cooled cornbread from the pie pan and cut into small cubes; place into a large bowl and mix in the rye bread cubes. Stir the bacon and cooked vegetables into the stuffing until well combined; drizzle the chicken broth into the dressing, stirring to evenly moisten the bread cubes.
  • Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Place turkey into a large roasting pan with a lid. Fill the body and neck cavities loosely with stuffing, folding the neck skin over the stuffing and securing in place with toothpicks. Place any leftover stuffing onto a large square of aluminum foil and fold and seal the edges to enclose the stuffing. Refrigerate stuffing packet until about 45 minutes before serving time.
  • Place the turkey in the oven, and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove lid after about 2 1/2 hours to brown skin. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. About 45 minutes before serving, bake the extra stuffing if desired.

CORNISH GAME HENS WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING



Cornish Game Hens with Cornbread Stuffing image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 small leek, white part with 1 inch of green, finely chopped and rinsed
1 small apple (about 4 ounces), peeled, cored, and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh sage, plus sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
2 cups cubed day old cornbread
3/4 to 1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 Cornish hens, giblets discarded, patted dry

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Saute the leeks for 8 to 10 minutes, until softened. Add the apples and cook for 3 minutes more. In a medium bowl combine the leek mixture with the sage, parsley, cornbread and enough broth to moisten. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stuff the birds with the cornbread mixture and tie the legs of each hen together with kitchen twine. Melt the remaining butter. Brush the birds all over with butter and season with salt and pepper. Put the hens on a rack in a large roasting pan, breast-side up. Roast until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 170 degrees F., about 80 minutes. Set the birds aside at room temperature, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes before carving. Split the hens in half through the breast with a sharp knife or poultry shears, and keep the stuffing intact. Arrange birds skin-side up, on a platter, garnish with sprigs of herbs and serve.

CREOLE CORNBREAD STUFFING (EMERIL'S)



Creole Cornbread Stuffing (Emeril's) image

Saw this on Good Morning America. I decided immediately it had to be a last minute addition to our Thanksgiving menu. My 22 year old son was thrilled to have it assigned to him ("instead of a sissy salad"). He breezed through making it and we all thought it was so good it had to have a permanent place on our Thanksgiving menu. Highly recommended (although it may be a tad spicy for some -- if you are timid about spices, go easy on them).

CORNBREAD AND SAUSAGE STUFFING



Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing image

Some cooks use diced giblets (heart, gizzard, and liver) in addition to the pork sausage in order to give this cornbread-based stuffing an extra meaty taste. It's the perfect partner for our Roast Turkey with Herb Butter.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh pork sausage, casings removed, crumbled (plus giblets, diced; optional)
1 large onion, (about 2 cups), finely chopped
3 celery, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds prepared cornbread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (12 cups)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage (and giblets, if using) over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl.
  • To pan, add onion, celery, and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat to medium; cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add to sausage.
  • Add cornbread, sage, and eggs to sausage and vegetables. Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour 1/2 cup over stuffing, and toss gently (cornbread will break down into smaller pieces). If needed, add up to 1/2 cup more broth, until stuffing feels moist, but not wet. Stuff into turkey, using about 4 cups.
  • Spoon remaining stuffing into an 8" baking pan; it should reach the top. Bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornbread: Use a recipe that makes a slightly dry and crumbly cornbread. This will help the stuffing hold its shape and not become mushy.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better the stuffing will taste. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and broth.
  • Don't overstuff the stuffing: The stuffing should be loosely packed so that it can cook evenly. If you overstuff it, it will be dense and heavy.
  • Bake the stuffing until it is golden brown and crispy: This will give the stuffing a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the stuffing to firm up.

Conclusion:

Cornbread stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is a great way to use up leftover cornbread and it is also a popular Thanksgiving dish. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you will love. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both delicious and easy to make, give cornbread stuffing a try.
