Time 9h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8.5 ounce) package corn bread mix
10 slices firm white bread
1 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
2 cups sliced celery
1 large onion, chopped
2 teaspoons dried sage
¼ cup melted butter
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
2 eggs

Steps:

  • The day before you want to make the stuffing, bake the corn bread mix according to package directions, remove it from the pan, cover lightly with a cloth, and leave it to dry overnight. Tear the bread into pieces and leave it out overnight to dry.
  • About 1/2 hour before serving, preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • Place the sausage into a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks, until the meat is browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the celery and onion, and cook until the onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sage.
  • Tear up and crumble the corn bread into a large bowl. Break the bread apart into 1/2-inch pieces, and lightly mix it with the corn bread. Pour in the melted butter, stir to combine, and lightly mix in the sausage mixture.
  • Whisk the chicken broth with the eggs, and stir into the corn bread mixture. Place the stuffing into the prepared baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in the preheated oven until the stuffing is cooked through and hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover the dish and return to the oven to bake until the top is lightly browned, about 10 more minutes.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

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.

CORN BREAD-SAUSAGE STUFFING



Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing image

Fresh herbs enhance any basic stuffing, like this recipe based on cornmeal. You may want to add toasted nuts, like chestnuts, pecans or walnuts. It can be prepared a day ahead -- I find that it is better that way -- and reheated in a warm oven. Serve it alongside a roast turkey breast.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound ground sweet or hot sausage meat

3 cups cubed corn bread
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, or 1 tablespoon dried
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1 cup chicken broth, fresh or canned

  • Add onions, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Remove skillet from heat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overstuff the bird. A good rule of thumb is to use about 3/4 cup of stuffing per pound of turkey.
  • Cook the stuffing to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • If you are using a store-bought stuffing mix, be sure to add some fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices to give it more flavor.
  • If you are making your own stuffing from scratch, be sure to use a bread that is at least a day old. This will help to prevent the stuffing from becoming too mushy.
  • Serve the stuffing hot out of the oven. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:
