Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter, for greasing pan
1/2 loaf white bread, cut into small cubes and toasted
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons turkey fat or butter, skimmed from pan drippings
1/2 Buttermilk Cornbread, recipe follows
1/4 pound saltine crackers, or about 1 sleeve crumbled
3 hard-boiled large eggs, peeled and chopped
4 cups turkey pan juices, chicken broth or low-sodium canned broth
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons corn oil or bacon drippings
3 cups self-rising white cornmeal
2 1/2 to 3 cups buttermilk, well shaken

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 13- by 2-inch baking dish.
  • Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly brown, 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet, saute the onions in the turkey fat until translucent and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. In a very large bowl, crumble the Buttermilk Cornbread, toasted bread cubes and cracker crumbs. Add the onions and eggs and toss with a fork until mixed. Add 3 cups of the broth and mix it well, adding more as needed to make a very moist but not soupy dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the prepared pan until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Put the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
  • Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your cornbread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and brown properly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door will let the heat escape and prevent the cornbread from rising properly.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
