1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish

4 stalks celery, chopped
1 small bunch mustard greens, stemmed and chopped (about 8 cups)

JULIE'S CORNBREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING



Julie's Cornbread Dressing or Stuffing image

This is an old family recipe that I have altered just a little with some advice from Paula Deen. You can use my cornbread recipe recipe #200737 or make your own, but make sure it's not sweet cornbread. And if you use store-bought broth, you might need to eliminate the salt from the dressing. (Mom always cooked the giblets and turkey neck in the turkey broth on the stove, then discarded the giblets and chopped up the neck to include in the dressing, but you don't have too :) )

Categories     For Large Groups

Time 4h

Yield 1 large pan, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pan cornbread (not sweet)
1 (16 ounce) bag cheap white bread
3 stalks celery
1 onion
6 eggs
2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cream
3 -4 cups turkey broth or 3 -4 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • DAY BEFORE OR EARLY IN THE DAY.
  • Make cornbread.
  • Pinch up other bread into 1/2" pieces and toast in oven until dry but not brown or hard. I use a large cookie sheet at 200 degrees for 1 hours.
  • Dice celery and onion and keep refrigerated.
  • 2 1/2 HOURS BEFORE SERVING.
  • Crumble cornbread by hand into the bowl with the bread.
  • Add the eggs, sage, salt and pepper.
  • Add 2 cups of turkey broth.
  • Add the cream.
  • Add additional chicken broth, until you reach the right consistency. Be careful not to add too much as the dressing will not set. (You want enough liquid so that the bread will soak it up and still be just slightly soupy.).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If using the same oven as the turkey, plan to cook longer to accommodate the lower oven temperature.).
  • If not using a disposable pan, spray pan with Pam AND line it with heavy duty aluminum foil or regular aluminum foil, doubled. Spray the foil as well.
  • 1 1/4 HOUR BEFORE SERVING.
  • Place dressing in the oven.
  • Check on it starting at 45 minutes. Depending on the size of your pan (the depth of the dressing), it will take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 1 1/4 hour to get done.
  • Serve and enjoy!

JULIA CHILD'S CORNBREAD STUFFING



Julia Child's Cornbread Stuffing image

I went to school 2,000 miles away from my midwestern home and then booked to the opposite coast upon graduating -- I've spent 7 Thanksgivings at various houses because I couldn't afford to go home, so I've tasted a lot of families' stuffings and none of them hold a candle to my mom's. Well I guess it's not really my mom's recipe, but I don't care. It's awesome.

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup corn kernel
¼ cup honey
2 large eggs
1 box cornbread mix, optional if you do not want to do Tia's cornbread, prepared according to box instructions, and cut into cubes.
4 cups white bread, we used an Italian loaf, cubed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 stalks celery, diced
½ head fennel head, diced
salt, to taste
2 green apples, peeled and diced
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 lb Italian sausage, casing removed
¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh sage
3 cups chicken broth, or chicken stock

Steps:

  • First, make Tia's Cornbread at least one day before serving the stuffing.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 9-inch (23 cm) baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, corn, honey and eggs. Using a rubber spatula, add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour, then cut into 1-inch cubes for the stuffing.
  • For the stuffing, start by cutting the cornbread into cubes.
  • Spread 4 cups of white bread cubes and 4 cups of the cornbread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and leave out overnight to dry out.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch (33x23x2 cm) baking dish with butter and set aside.
  • Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl.
  • In a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onion, garlic, celery, fennel and sprinkle with the salt and cook until the vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the mixture to the bowl of bread and mix.
  • In the same sauté pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and let brown for 30 seconds. Add the apples and nutmeg and sauté until the apples are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the apples to the bread bowl and mix.
  • Add the sausage to the pan and cook, breaking it up as it browns, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the sausage to the bread bowl and mix.
  • Mix in the parsley and sage.
  • Transfer the bread mixture to the buttered baking dish.
  • Pour the chicken stock around the edges of the baking dish.
  • Put the baking dish on the middle oven rack and bake at 400°F (200°C), uncovered for 40 minutes, until golden brown.

SAVORY CORNBREAD STUFFING



Savory Cornbread Stuffing image

I find most cornbread to be very sweet. This one is grainy and savory, and the stuffing I make with it is my favorite. This is easily doubled for a larger quantity of stuffing. Bake it in a 3-quart baking dish (it will take about 45 to 50 minutes) or in two 9-inch pans.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     side dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably organic stone ground
1/2 cup all purpose flour or whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon mild honey
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or 1 tablespoon each olive oil and unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
4 stalks celery, cut in small dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons rubbed sage, or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground pepper
A double batch of cornbread (see above), crumbled you can do this in a food processor fitted with the steel blade
1/2 cup milk, or as necessary, for moistening
4 tablespoons unsalted butter if baking separately

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet, a heavy 2-quart baking dish or a heavy 9-inch square baking pan in the oven while you prepare the batter.
  • Place the cornmeal in a bowl, and sift in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir the mixture with a spoon or whisk to amalgamate. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, yogurt (or buttermilk), milk and honey. Whisk the cornmeal mixture into the liquid mixture. Do not overwork the batter.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and add the butter to the pan. Swirl the pan so that the butter melts quickly before it gets too brown, then quickly whisk the butter into the batter. Brush the sides of the pan with any butter remaining in the pan.
  • Quickly scrape all of the batter into the hot pan, and place in the oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It will be quite brown on the edges. Allow the bread to cool in the pan, or serve warm.
  • Heat the olive oil (or oil and butter) over medium heat in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about three minutes, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the celery. Cook together for another few minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic, and stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl, and add the remaining ingredients. Combine well. Taste and adjust salt. Moisten as desired with milk.
  • Stuff the cavity of the turkey, or transfer to a buttered or oiled 2-quart baking dish. Dot with butter. Cover with aluminum foil, and heat through in a 325-degree oven for 30 minutes.

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Side dish

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 rashers of bacon, roughly chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 celery sticks, finely chopped
small bunch of sage, finely chopped
2 eggs, beaten
400ml vegetable stock, cooled
50g salted butter, melted, plus extra for the dish
175g fine semolina or polenta
100g plain flour
½ tbsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
200ml buttermilk or natural yogurt
1-2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped

Steps:

  • First, make the cornbread. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter the base of a 25cm ovenproof dish and line with baking parchment. Combine the semolina, flour, baking powder, bicarb and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl. Whisk the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk or yogurt and chillies together in a jug and until combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until just combined - be careful not to over-mix. Pour the cornbread batter into the pan and bake for 40-50 mins until golden, then cool completely in the tin.
  • Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Fry the bacon in a large frying pan or skillet over a medium heat for 5 mins until it is starting to crisp up and release its fat. Remove to a board, leave to cool slightly, then roughly chop. Tip the onion, garlic and celery into the pan and fry for 8-10 mins until the vegetables are softened and golden. Add a splash of water the mixture starts to catch on the bottom. Stir in the sage.
  • Tip the vegetable mixture into a large bowl and leave to cool slightly. Cut the cooled cornbread into 2cm cubes, then add to the bowl of veg along with the chopped bacon. Season and toss to combine. Tip the stuffing mixture into a roughly 20 x 30cm casserole dish. Mix the eggs and vegetable stock together in a jug, then pour this over the stuffing in the dish. Bake for 15-20 mins until the stuffing is golden brown and crisp at the edges.

EASY CORNBREAD-BROWN BUTTER STUFFING



Easy Cornbread-Brown Butter Stuffing image

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.

Categories     easy, stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
9 cups stale cornbread, crumbled into large chunks
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 large eggs
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or rosemary
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon chile powder
Black pepper, as needed
Turkey or chicken stock (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Cook, undisturbed, until the foam subsides and the butter is a deep brown and smells nutty. Transfer immediately to a heatproof liquid measuring cup or bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread, scallions, 3 tablespoons butter, eggs, sage, salt, chili powder and black pepper. If the mixture looks dry, add a little stock or water.
  • Spoon the stuffing into a 1 1/2 quart gratin dish. Drizzle the remaining butter over the stuffing. (At this point you can wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.)
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake until crisp and browned on top, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornbread for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh cornbread, you can use a store-bought mix or Jiffy corn muffin mix.
  • Be sure to season the cornbread stuffing well. Salt, pepper, and sage are essential, but you can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey or chicken. You want the stuffing to be cooked through, but not so dense that it's hard to eat.
  • If you're making stuffing ahead of time, be sure to store it properly in the refrigerator or freezer.

Conclusion:

Cornbread stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meats and vegetables. It's a great way to use up leftover cornbread, and it's also a popular choice for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love.
