TURKEY WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING AND GRAVY



Turkey with Cornbread Stuffing and Gravy image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12-pound) turkey, thawed
1 box cornbread mix, prepared according to package directions
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1 can chicken with rice soup
1 stick softened butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the turkey in clean water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the gizzards and neck.
  • Place gizzards and neck into a pan of water and bring to a simmer to create broth for gravy. Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, strain, and reserve.
  • Meanwhile, make cornbread from mix, according to package directions. Crumble cornbread into small pieces and lay onto a cookie sheet to air dry.
  • In a bowl, combine celery and green onions with air-dried cornbread. Add poultry seasoning and soup, but no water. Mix together thoroughly and place inside turkey cavities.
  • Generously cover bird completely with softened butter, tent with aluminum foil and bake according to package instructions for bird's weight. One hour before bird is finished cooking, remove foil and baste. This will allow skin to become crispy and brown without burning.
  • The turkey is done when the internal temperature registers 170 degrees F deep in the thigh, and juices run clear when flesh is pierced. The temperature of the stuffing should be 160 degrees F in the center.
  • Remove bird from oven, place on serving platter, and tent with foil. Let turkey rest for about 15 minutes so the temperature of the stuffing will reach 165 in the center and the temperature in the thigh will rise to 180 degrees F.
  • Start gravy. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil, add the flour and brown deeply, stirring constantly over medium-low heat. Add turkey drippings and whisk until thickened. Add gizzard broth and simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove stuffing from bird and place in serving bowl. Carve turkey and plate with stuffing and gravy.

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.

Roast Turkey with Cornbread Stuffing image

Reserve the turkey's giblets and neck, if desired, for making Turkey Stock.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 4 tablespoons, softened
2 cups dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 fresh whole turkey (about 26 pounds), rinsed and patted dry, giblets and neck removed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Cornbread Stuffing
Fresh sage or other herbs, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with only one rack in the lowest position. Stir together melted butter and wine in a bowl. Fold a very large piece of cheesecloth into quarters so that it is large enough to cover breast and halfway down sides of turkey. Immerse cloth in butter mixture.
  • Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Fold wing tips under. Season inside turkey with salt and pepper. Loosely fill body and neck cavities with stuffing. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Fold neck flap under; secure with toothpicks. Rub turkey all over with the 4 tablespoons softened butter; season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove cheesecloth from butter mixture, squeezing gently into bowl; reserve butter mixture for brushing. Lay cheesecloth over turkey. Place turkey, legs first, into oven. Roast 30 minutes. Brush cheesecloth and exposed turkey with butter mixture. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Roast, brushing with butter mixture every 30 minutes and rotating once, 2 1/2 hours; tent with foil if browning too quickly. Pour 1/2 cup water into pan if juices are very dark brown.
  • Discard cheesecloth; rotate pan. Baste turkey with pan juices. Roast, rotating pan halfway through, until skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (and the stuffing) registers 165 degrees, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more, basting turkey every 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Let turkey stand at room temperature 30 minutes, tented with foil, before carving. Garnish with herbs if desired.

GRANDMOTHER'S SOUTHERN DRESSING WITH COUNTRY SAUSAGE AND TURKEY GIZZARDS



Grandmother's Southern Dressing with Country Sausage and Turkey Gizzards image

One of my grandmother's most notable dishes is Southern dressing. It is on the table at every Thanksgiving, and it is packed with flavor. This is the TRUE Southern dressing way, using turkey gizzards and all to take the dish to another level! I also like adding fresh herbs to round out all the ingredients used.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
2 cups buttermilk
3 large eggs
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 small sweet onion, roughly chopped
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
1 cup turkey gizzards
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound country sausage, such as Jimmy Dean
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
8 cups day-old Cornbread, cut or crumbled into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
Hot sauce, optional

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch-square casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk and eggs in another large bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the cornmeal mixture and whisk until just combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and bake until golden and firm to the touch, about 40 minutes. Makes 10 cups.
  • For the dressing: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Put the onions, celery and bell peppers in a food processor. Add the gizzards and process until the mixture is very finely minced but not mushy.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable and gizzards mixture and the country sausage and cook, breaking up the sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon and seasoning with salt halfway through, until the sausage is browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Transfer the sausage mixture to a large bowl and add the cornbread, melted butter, garlic powder and dried Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently combine with a rubber spatula. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a small bowl and pour over the cornbread mixture. Add the chicken stock and stir to combine. Stir in the parsley and sage.
  • Spread the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, pressing the mixture lightly until packed. Bake until slightly golden and set, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately with hot sauce if desired.

GRANDMA'S SAUSAGE TURKEY STUFFING



Grandma's Sausage Turkey Stuffing image

This recipe is from my husband's mother and is a family tradition and loved by all. It is surprisingly easy. There is never enough so I usually double this recipe. Our son is very allergic to dairy products so I was thrilled to discover that this was safe for him as long as I double checked the ingredients in the sausage and Cubed Stuffing each time as things change. Needless to say, it is his favorite part of Thanksgiving.

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb Bob Evans sausage, Mild sausage
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped (one large)
8 celery ribs, finely sliced
1 (16 ounce) can chicken stock
1 (14 ounce) bag cubed peppridge farm herb stuffing mix
1/4 cup fresh parsley, washed and chopped
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon dried sage

Steps:

  • To make this easy to prepare, I chop the onion, celery and parsley first.
  • In a large skillet, (I use an electric skillet for easy clean up) chop up the pork sausage with a utensil as it starts to cook. Just as this is starting to cook a bit, add your onion, celery, poultry seasoning and sage. Cook until the sausage is done and the celery and onion have cooked down. Taste it as it is safe to eat at this point. Add more seasoning if you think it needs it. It should taste like stuffing at this point and very good! Turn off heat.
  • In a large bowl pour 1/2 bag of the cubed stuffing croutons, 1/2 of the chicken stock and 1/2 of the sausage. Stir well and repeat.
  • Refrigerate overnight or until you are ready to use. Makes enough to stuff a 16-20 pound turkey and a small casserole on the side. Spray your casserole dish with vegetable spray and add some turkey drippings to the casserole while cooking. Casserole cooks in about 25 minutes on 325 degree oven.
  • Enjoy!

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:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the stuffing will taste. If possible, use organic or locally sourced ingredients.
  • Season generously: Don't be afraid to season the stuffing well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful dish.
  • Cook the stuffing thoroughly: Make sure the stuffing is cooked all the way through before serving. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Let the stuffing rest: After the stuffing is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Turkey with sausage cornbread stuffing is a classic Thanksgiving dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its moist, savory stuffing and crispy cornbread topping, this dish is a winner. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy Thanksgiving recipe, give this one a try.
