Servings 9 x13 dish

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups small diced celery
  • 2 cups small diced yellow onion
  • 4 cups small diced toasted white bread about 1/2 inch squares
  • 4 cups crumbled cornbread
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried poultry seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Turkey or chicken stock

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a 12-inch skillet add butter and set over medium-high heat.
  • When the butter is melted add the celery and onion and stir to combine.
  • Cook for the vegetables for about 10 minutes or until the onion and celery are starting to soften and turn translucent.
  • Remove from the heat and add the vegetables and any remaining butter to a large mixing bowl.
  • To the mixing bowl add diced toasted bread, crumbled cornbread, fresh sage, poultry seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper and stir to combine.
  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk.
  • Pour over the bread mixture and stir to combine.
  • Drizzle in turkey or chicken stock just until the bread is wet and moistened but not soggy.
  • Put the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish and add to the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top of the stuffing is lightly browned but the inside is still moist.

Notes

  • In our family, we use Jiffy cornbread that we make the night before and let sit out to use the next day. This is a sweet cornbread but you can use unsweet if you desire.
  • The amount of turkey stock will depend greatly on how dry your bread is. That is why there is not a precise amount.
  • You can use 1-2 teaspoons of dried sage in place of fresh sage.
  • You can use vegetable stock instead of meat stock if desired.
