Savory Cornbread Dressing
Savory Cornbread Dressing
Until I made this recipe, I had never made any kind of stuffing or dressing before, other than Stove Top. Working at the soup kitchen, I had seen the head cook there make it a few times, so I consulted her on how to make it on a scaled-down version. I was really pleased with the results.
1 recipe Old Fashioned Cornbread (I used whole wheat flour to make it)
about 8 slices whole wheat bread
2 cups Tasty Turkey Broth (if you don’t have any pre-made, you can use the juice from roasting your turkey)
1 medium onion
3 stalks celery
¼ cup butter
1 tsp salt
1-2 TBS dried sage, depending on your taste
½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 TBS dried parsley
skillet
wooden spoon
bowl
bread knife, cutting board
measuring cups/spoons
13x9x2 baking pan -OR-
ice cream scoop and baking sheet

Dice onion and celery.

so you don’t need to toast the bread to dry it out first? ive never done cornbread stuffing.
I did not toast the bread nor dry it out first, but I’ve heard of people who have. Mine tasted good.
That’s wonderful! I’m so glad!
Oh, Halleeeeeee, I made this last night and used your scoop suggestion. It was my first time to EVER make dressing because I don’t like it. My husband ate one of the scoops last night and declared it realllllllly good. :o) I used a different cornbread recipe (http://frazzledfood.blogspot.com/2011/01/honey-cornbread.html), cut off 1/4 of it, and used white bread slices since it was on hand. YUM, girl!
