CORNBREAD SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 425 F.
• In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
• Mix in the buttermilk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Stir until thoroughly combined.
• Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the bottom of a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Heat the skillet in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Carefully pour the batter into the hot skillet (the hot oil may splatter). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let cool for a few minutes and turn out onto a cutting board. Cut the cornbread into cubes and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F. Saute the sausage, celery, and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sausage is thoroughly cooked.
• Drain the sausage mixture, then spoon into a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed cornbread, fresh parsley, poultry seasoning, and dried sage. Gently toss to combine.
• Add the chicken broth and beaten egg. Carefully mix until just combined.
• Lightly grease a medium (2-quart) casserole dish and add the stuffing mixture.

SAUSAGE AND CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly mist an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add the onion, garlic and sausage. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a spoon, until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the celery and fennel; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
• Toss the vegetable mixture with the pear, herbs, reserved fennel fronds, walnuts and cornbread; season with salt and pepper. Gently toss the stuffing mixture with 1/2 cup broth to moisten (adding more to moisten if needed); transfer to the prepared baking dish. Lightly mist a piece of foil large enough to cover the dish. Pour 1/2 cup broth over the stuffing and cover with the foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the stuffing and bake until golden around edges, about 30 minutes more.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly mist an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together the egg white, water and buttermilk; stir in the muffin mix and wheat germ until incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center tests clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• One to two days ahead, make one pan of cornbread according to the box instructions. Let this sit out overnight and get a firm (almost hard) crust.

• In a skillet, cook onion and celery in butter until soft. Remove from heat, allow to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, sausage, onions and celery. Add sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.

CORNBREAD SAUSAGE STUFFING FOR THANKSGIVING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter baking dish; set aside. Arrange bread and cornbread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing occasionally, until completely dried out, 35-50 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet, then transfer to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Break sausage into ½" pieces and cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller (about ¼") pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread but do not stir.
• Heat remaining 1 stick butter in same skillet over medium-high. Cook onions and celery, stirring often and scraping browned bits off bottom of pan, until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread mixture and let cool.
• Whisk eggs, broth, parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add to bread mixture and fold gently until thoroughly combined.
• Increase oven temperature to 350°F. Transfer mixture to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake stuffing until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F, 40-45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until set and top is browned and crisped, 45-50 minutes more.
• DO AHEAD: Stuffing can be assembled, but not baked, 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. When ready to bake, bring to room temperature and bake according to recipe. Stuffing can be baked 1 day ahead. Let cool completely, then cover with foil and chill. Keep covered and bake in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 25-30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is crisped, 7-10 minutes more.
