Ingredients
- 4 cups cornbread crumbled, preferably a day or two old
- 1 lb sausage pork or turkey, crumbled
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth for a lighter option
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the sausage and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, sausage, sautéed vegetables, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, chicken broth, and melted butter. Pour this mixture over the cornbread mixture and stir until evenly combined.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
