Ingredients:
1 pan cornbread (crumbled, dried out 1 day ahead; about 6 to 8 cups crumbs)
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
3 stalks celery, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 stick butter (plus extra to grease the pan)
2 to 2½ cups broth (turkey, chicken, or canned)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon rubbed sage (or poultry seasoning)
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Baking Instructions:
Sauté chopped onion and celery in melted butter with salt and pepper under a lid on medium heat until tender and translucent (about 15 minutes).
Heat your broth slightly with the cooked vegetables.
In a large bowl, mix crumbled dry cornbread with sage, parsley, and thyme.
Pour the warm vegetables and broth over the crumbs. Stir in the beaten eggs until combined and moist.
Transfer to a greased cast iron skillet or 9x13 baking dish.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes (or 400°F for 30 minutes) until firm and golden brown on top.
Helpful Tips:
Make Ahead: Bake your cornbread a day ahead so it dries out. If you're short on time, crumble fresh cornbread onto a baking sheet and dry it in a 200°F oven for 20–30 minutes.
Stuffing the Bird: If stuffing inside a turkey, omit the extra broth—the natural juices from the bird will provide all the moisture.
Gluten-Free Option: Swap in 6 cups of dried, cubed gluten-free bread crumbs.
Vegetarian Option: Substitute milk for the broth.
Bible Verse:
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." — Psalm 100:4-5
