CORNBREAD-ANDOUILLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
• Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the skillet, then add the onion, celery, sage, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cups broth and bring to a boil; remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the potato bread, cornbread, sausage and vegetable-broth mixture and stir until combined, adding up to 1/2 cup more broth if necessary. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the turkey drippings (or dot with butter).

SAVORY CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet, a heavy 2-quart baking dish or a heavy 9-inch square baking pan in the oven while you prepare the batter.
• Place the cornmeal in a bowl, and sift in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir the mixture with a spoon or whisk to amalgamate. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, yogurt (or buttermilk), milk and honey. Whisk the cornmeal mixture into the liquid mixture. Do not overwork the batter.
• Remove the pan from the oven, and add the butter to the pan. Swirl the pan so that the butter melts quickly before it gets too brown, then quickly whisk the butter into the batter. Brush the sides of the pan with any butter remaining in the pan.
• Quickly scrape all of the batter into the hot pan, and place in the oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It will be quite brown on the edges. Allow the bread to cool in the pan, or serve warm.
• Heat the olive oil (or oil and butter) over medium heat in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about three minutes, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the celery. Cook together for another few minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic, and stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl, and add the remaining ingredients. Combine well. Taste and adjust salt. Moisten as desired with milk.
• Stuff the cavity of the turkey, or transfer to a buttered or oiled 2-quart baking dish. Dot with butter. Cover with aluminum foil, and heat through in a 325-degree oven for 30 minutes.

CAJUN SEAFOOD CORNBREAD STUFFING (FOR PORK, CHICKEN OR FISH)

Steps:

• Bake cornbread and allow to cool, or use leftover. Crumble into fairly fine crumbs to equal 2 cups.
• Clean and de-vien shrimp, chop into course pieces, 1/2 inch. Save shells.
• In a small sauce pan bring chicken broth to simmer, add shrimp shells and simmer for 20 minutes. Set aside and add the juice from the canned clams.
• Saute onion and celery in butter until tender.
• Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs and cornbread crumbs, salt, pepper, sage, garlic powder and poultry seasoning, mix well.
• Strain broth into crumb mixture with a fine sieve or colender, discard shells, and give a quick stir. Add soup and eggs and stir well.
• Fold in shrimp and clams.
• Now, here is the important part, you want a really moist mixture that is not too moist. You may have to add broth or water (I used a tad bit of beer he he) You want to be able to use a big soup spoon, not a ladle but one of those huge spoons, scoop up some of the dressing and if a little runs off the sides but still remains heeped up on the spoon, perfect. If nothing runs off the sides of the spoon and you picked up a big ball of stuffing it is too thick. You need to add broth, water, or in my case beer until it forms a rounded peek when scooped instead of a ball.
• Now, your stuffing is ready to cook, boy this is good. Take you a good cut of porkchop, fish, or chicken breast, place each serving on a piece of greased foil big enough to fold the sides of the foil up high enough to hold the stuffing, place the servings on cookie sheet and fill it up with the stuffing. Oh man, this just keeps getting better.
• Depending on how big your pieces of meat are and how much stuffing you put on them will determine on how long you need to cook them. You need to use a meat thermometer to test the doneness. When done, allow to cool 5 minutes, fold back foil and use a spatula to remove onto plate.
• I cook mine at 375 F for about an hour. I use thick cuts and lots of stuffing. This is good stuff man!
• I even make these ahead and freeze them, just thaw and cook.
• Servings, prep and cooking times are estimated as best as I can.
