Moms Cornbread Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare cornbread according to directions on package. Cool and crumble. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the crumbled corn bread, onion, garlic, celery and eggs. Gently stir. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and sage.
• Add the chicken and turkey broth 1 cup at a time until the cornbread becomes moist but not wet.
• Place stuffing into a Dutch oven or loosely pack into a turkey. Bake for 1 hour or until stuffing reaches a temperature of 175 degrees F (80 degrees C).

Steps:

• Prepare corn bread as usual.
• Crumble in a bowl and set aside.
• In a saucepan, boil celery, onion and butter in enough water to cover - until the onions turn clear and celery is tender.
• Mix the veggies (with the water) with the corn bread.
• Add sage to taste ( I use a LOT of sage).
• Spread into a 13x9 baking dish and cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Serve with cranberry sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Mix cornbread, celery, onion, eggs and 1 can of broth together.
• Add salt, pepper and sage to taste.
• Bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes or until done.
• Half way through cooking check moisture; slowly add other can of broth if needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium-sized saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and apple and saute until just tender. Remove from the heat and add the onion mixture to the bread in a large mixing bowl. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, sage, salt, and pepper. Pour over the bread mixture and stir to combine and moisten the bread. Transfer to a casserole dish and bake for about 1 hour or until browned on top. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 13- by 2-inch baking dish.
• Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly brown, 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet, saute the onions in the turkey fat until translucent and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. In a very large bowl, crumble the Buttermilk Cornbread, toasted bread cubes and cracker crumbs. Add the onions and eggs and toss with a fork until mixed. Add 3 cups of the broth and mix it well, adding more as needed to make a very moist but not soupy dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the prepared pan until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Put the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
• Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x13-inch baking dishes.
• Combine cornbread and stale bread cubes in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour onion mixture over the cornbread mixture. Add turkey broth, chopped turkey, soup, giblets, hard-cooked eggs, and flour. Mix so that all the cornbread is wet. Mix in parsley, sage, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Add beaten eggs. Mixture should be "soupy." Pour mixture evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and set, 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place the cornbread cubes into a large bowl. Set aside until needed.
• Place the chicken breasts in a pot and cover with water. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan, reserving at least 2 cups of the chicken broth. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and debone, discarding the skin and bones.
• Mix the onion, chicken broth, and red pepper with the cornbread; mash the mixture using a hand masher. Season to taste with sage, salt, and black pepper, adding a little at a time. Stir in the chicken. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir together 2 eggs and buttermilk and add to dry ingredients. Stit until just moistened. Heat 2 tbls butter in a cast iron skillet until hot, pour batter into skillet and bake for 25 minutes until cornbread is golden brown. Cool and crumble.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in large skillet over medium heat, add green onions and celery saute until tender.
• In a large roaster, combine crumbled cornbread, onion/celery mixture, chopped boiled eggs, coutons, 1 can of chicken broth, sage, and pepper. Refrigerate overnight.
• Stir in remaing 4 raw eggs and 3 1/2 cans of chicken broth. Bake in at 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours until golden brown.

Steps:

• Early in the day (earlier the better) make the cornbread, when done, place in a large bowl and break into large chunks. Also, I make my cornbread southern style, heating some bacon fat in the pan, as the oven heats, before pouring in the batter. (by the way, I'm doing this so early, and starving, so I usually have a small slice for breakfast - hey I'm human :) Lay bread slices on top ( you can tear those up a bit if you want). The purpose is to let it all dry out a bit. If you are cooking the turkey at home - take the giblets, neck etc out of the turkey, place in sauce pan, cover with water and bring to a boil, then simmer about an hour.
• Remove the turkey parts from the broth, and add the diced celery and onion, bring to a boil again, then simmer about 30 to 45 minutes. If you aren't making your own turkey, use chicken broth or turkey broth (if you can find it)- Trader Joes has it, if you have one in your area, probably about 2 cans. Dump entire hot mixture of liquid and veggies onto the cornbread/bread in the bowl. Use a potato masher to start mashing it up.
• Again if you are making your own turkey, at this point your turkey should be about done, because you would have started cooking it sometime after you finished the cornbread. Use a turkey baster to start taking turkey juice and transferring it to the bowl. (I use a cooking/turkey bag) to make my turkey, so I always have a ton of juice, enough for the dressing, and to make gravy.) After every couple of additions, mash it in some more. At this point you can use an electric hand mixer.
• Mixture should be a bit soupy. At this point, add seasonings. I'd guess about ¼ teaspoon sage, and 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning. Taste, then add a little salt and a little pepper. Taste again, then decide if you want more poultry seasoning or sage - just remember a little sage goes a long way. Once it tastes like you want it, beat in the raw eggs, using the hand mixer, mix it on medium or high speed about 2 minutes.
• Again, if you aren't making your own turkey, you can use chicken broth, you'll need to heat it up, and I'm not quite sure how much it would take, my guess is 3 cans, but have extra on hand just in case. The broth that comes in boxes is fine to use - I prefer to not use the swansons brand, it's not as rich as some of the other brands that come in a box. Just remember, again, this mixture should be pretty soupy - the raw eggs are what's going to make it set.
• Generously butter a large casserole (if you don't have at least a 3quart casserole, you can use more than one, and pour the dressing mixture into that. Bake at 350 about an hour. It should puff up just a little bit, be a bit brown on top. Test for doneness by sticking in a toothpick, or you can use a butter knife, it should come out basically clean. Serve with Turkey and gravy.

Steps:

• Boil together: chicken breasts,onion,celery,chicken broth,and bellpepper.
• Crumble cooled cornbread in large bowl.
• Add peeled and chopped eggs.
• Remove chicken when done and debone,if necessary.

• Use a slotted spoon to add as much of the onion,celery,bell pepper as possible.
• If not wet enough,add either more chicken broth or a can of cream of chicken soup.
• Add salt and pepper.
• Add ground sage a little at a time and taste test.It is EASY to add too much.
• so add it SLOWLY.
• I add a little Tony's seasoning,to taste.
• After this mixture has cooled,add 5-6 raw,beaten eggs,stirring well after each.
• More bell pepper can be added at this point(if you feel necessary).
