Steps:
- Preheat Oven to 425 Degrees F.
- Grease a 9 X 13 pan and set aside.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter, but do not burn.
- Add onion and saute over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
- Add celery and continue sauteing for another 2 or 3 minutes or until onions are soft and somewhat translucent.
- Do NOT brown.
- Remove pan from burner and set aside.
- (Turn burner off.) In a large bowl or pan, combine breads, green onion, parsley and rest of seasonings.
- Add sauteed onions, celery and drippings.
- Mix well.
- Add eggs, chicken broth or stock and melted butter.
- Mix well.
- Stuffing mixture should be"wet" and thick like cake batter or soup.
- Add water if needed, but not too much.
- Pour stuffing mixture into greased pan and bake for about 40 minutes.
- Nita's Note: I do NOT add sage or boiled eggs to my dressing.
- Sage is not traditional in my family and many people do not like it.
- Boiled eggs toughen and"weep" when reheated.
- Eggs are better added to the bread when it is made.
- I do not"stuff" chicken or turkey.
- This is again, not traditional in our family.
- Now we are told by the health department folks that doing so can be dangerous and lead to food poisoning.
- Cornbread Dressing is served as a side dish with sliced or pulled chicken or turkey, cranberry sauce and gravy-- Either giblet gravy, or cream of chicken or turkey gravy.
- ENJOY!

THE BEST CORNBREAD DRESSING
Complete your Thanksgiving spread with our favorite cornbread dressing. To make it truly perfect, we opted to make the cornbread from scratch using stone-ground cornmeal, buttermilk and just the right amount of sugar. The result is a perfect base that's buttery and moist. Classic holiday flavors like onion and celery, plus fresh sage, thyme and parsley hit all the right notes.

Steps:
- For the cornbread: preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish generously with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl until combined.
- Put the butter in a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until completely melted, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly, then whisk in the buttermilk, whole milk and eggs until smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until just combined with no lumps remaining. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (The cornbread can be made one day in advance. After cooling completely, wrap the pan tightly with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.)
- Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Once the cornbread is completely cool, run a small offset spatula around the edges of the pan, then invert it onto a cutting board and cut into 1-inch cubes. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread into an even layer. Bake, rotating the trays halfway through, until the cornbread cubes are crisp at the edges and almost completely dried out, about 40 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely. (This step can be done up to 24 hours in advance. Store the cooled cornbread cubes in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag until ready to use.)
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish generously with butter.
- For the dressing: melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, thyme and poultry seasoning and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the cornbread cubes, chicken broth and eggs to the bowl and toss gently until the vegetables are evenly dispersed and the bread is very moist (do not overwork or the cornbread will fall apart). Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake until warmed through, about 30 minutes. Uncover, then return to the oven and bake until lightly browned and crisp at the edges, about 20 minutes more. Let sit for 10 minutes, then top with chopped parsley and serve.

CORNBREAD DRESSING
This crisp, rich and buttery dressing is excellent as a side dish for dinner on Thanksgiving and as leftovers the next day. Aromatics and a mix of fresh and dried herbs give it a deep savoriness. The sausage brings a flavor of its own, but you can leave it out for a vegetarian-friendly alternative. The accompanying cornbread recipe yields a result firm enough to soak up the stock and buttermilk without it turning to a pudding, but you can also use store-bought cornbread or a boxed mix. If you do, just crumble the baked cornbread and spread it out on a sheet pan in an even layer to dry for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours before mixing it with the rest of the dressing ingredients.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Heat a large skillet over medium and pour in the oil. Add the sausage and cook, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate, keeping any fat in the skillet. Add a few additional tablespoons oil if needed to evenly coat the bottom.
- Add the onion and celery to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, oregano, fennel seeds and sage, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, add the cornbread pieces and toss to combine. Pour in the stock and buttermilk, and stir until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Transfer the cornbread mixture to your prepared dish and spread evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake until heated through, 30 to 35 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees, remove the foil and bake until the surface is golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving warm.

GRANDMA NITA'S CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND GIBLET GRAVY
This is my grandmother's traditional Thanksgiving dressing (cornbread stuffing with sausage) and gravy. The family story goes that her in-laws came for dinner, and her father in-law pulled her husband away and asked if they were really that bad off, since there was no meat in the dressing, and since that day, there has always been meat in the dressing.
