CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the corn bread mix, 2 eggs, and milk. Pour into baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool. Cut up cornbread into 2 inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
• To make the stuffing, head a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the pork sausage and use a spoon to break it up while cooking. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until cooked through. Add to the cornbread mixture.
• Return the skillet to the stove and add in the butter and celery, cooking until celery starts to soften, about 4 minutes. Add in the onion, apple, sage, thyme, and salt and cook for another 5 minutes until onion and apple soften. Add to the cornbread mixture. Toss together the ingredients. (If making ahead, refrigerate this mixture and proceed to next step when ready to bake.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add in the beaten egg and broth and toss gently to combine. Pour into 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes until top is lightly browned.

CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH SAUSAGES, APPLES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Allow the cornbread, French bread and crusty bread to sit out on cookie sheets for several hours or overnight, until completely dried out.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Mushrooms will be very coated, but that's good! Divide the mushrooms between two sheet pans and roast in the upper half of the oven for at least 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through roasting. Remove from the oven when the mushrooms are deep brown. Set aside.
• Turn the oven down to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, crumble and the brown sausage over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Pour off any excess grease, and without cleaning the skillet, add in the onions and brown for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the diced apples, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until deep golden brown.
• Decrease the heat to medium and pour in the wine (be careful if you're using an open flame). Stir and cook to reduce the liquid by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the apple/onion mixture into a bowl and set aside.
• Return the skillet to medium heat (again, without washing) and add the chicken broth, rosemary, sage, thyme, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Heat for a few minutes, then set aside.
• Add the bread to a large bowl, then add the browned sausage, mushrooms and apple/onion mixture (and any juice that might have accumulated). Next, add the broth mixture gradually as you toss the ingredients, being prepared not to use all of the liquid according to your taste.
• Check the seasonings at the end and add in minced parsley. Pour into a large baking dish (I used an iron skillet) and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. (Or you can stuff the turkey if you're into that kind of thing.)
• Delicious!

APPLE SAUSAGE AND CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the cornbread cubes with the melted butter, and stir to combine.
• Meanwhile, cook the sausage in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate.
• Add the onion to the skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes. Add the celery and apple, and continue to cook, until tender and just golden, another 2-3 minutes.
• Add the cooked sausage, onion, celery, and apple to the cornbread mixture, followed by the spices, and stir to combine. Slowly pour the broth or water over top, and stir until evenly moistened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Pour the dressing into the prepared baking dish, and spread into an even layer.
• at this point, simply cover tightly with aluminum foil, and refrigerate for up to two days before baking.
• cover with aluminum foil, and bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes.⁴ Remove the foil, and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is crisp and golden. Serve warm.

CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
• Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
• Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
• In same skillet, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
• Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
• With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.
• When done, remove with a slotted spoon and add it to the mixing bowl.
• Reserve drippings for basting later.
• Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and combine gently.
• If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
• To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
• Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
• Serve hot or warm.
• Note: You may need to use additional broth (approximately one 14 ounce can) as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.
• Note: To make these as individual stuffing muffins, add one egg to the mix before baking to help the muffins keep their shape.
