Julies Cornbread Dressing Or Stuffing Food

CORNBREAD & SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Butter and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or spray with a nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk and whisk until evenly combined. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until lightly golden around the edges and set, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack until cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 250°F and set the oven rack in the middle position. Cut the cornbread into 1-inch squares. Place the cut cornbread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 1 hour. Cool the cornbread on the baking sheet, about 15 minutes.
• Place the sausage in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring and breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to the largest bowl you have (it needs to fit all the cornbread), leaving the fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, celery, and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Off the heat, mix in the herbs. Add the vegetable mixture to the bowl with the sausage and mix to combine.
• In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, broth, and salt.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Add the dried cornbread cubes to the sausage and vegetable mixture. Pour the egg mixture over top. Fold the mixture a few times with a large rubber spatula, being careful not to break up the cornbread too much. Let the mixture sit, folding carefully a few times, until the cornbread is saturated, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the soaked cornbread mixture to the prepared pan, making sure the sausage and vegetables are evenly distributed. Try to arrange some of the larger pieces of cornbread on top; it looks prettier. Dot the top of the stuffing with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve warm.
• Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cornbread can be prepared up to two days ahead of time. Cut it into cubes and let it dry out on the countertop overnight instead of toasting it in the oven. If you'd like the assemble the stuffing in advance, prepare it up until the point of baking, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to a day ahead of time. When ready to serve, bake as directed, allowing a few extra minutes in the oven. It can also be frozen after baking, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve it, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Reheat it, covered with foil, in a 325°F oven until hot.

JULIE'S KIWI MANDARIN DRESSING

Steps:

• Peel the kiwis, then whir them in the food processor until they're thoroughly liquified.
• They won't be completely liquid because they have a fair amount of fiber in them.
• Place in a bowl.
• If using canned mandarins, rinse them well (they usually come in syrup).
• If using fresh, peel and separate the mandarins.
• Then process them well.
• Put a sieve over the bowl with the kiwis and pour the processed mandarins into the sieve to separate the juice from the pulp.
• Add the remaining ingredients and whisk well.
• Pour over field greens salad mix and enjoy!
• Pine nuts make a nice garnish for this dressing.
• Note: I created this recipe as a request from a user on an online bulletin board.
• Fresh mandarins are preferred, rather than canned, for sure.
• Also, other people who've tried this recipe really like it- one substituted balsamic vinegar, but it's such a strong vinegar (and would cover the taste of the kiwi) I think the rice vinegar is better.

JULIE'S CORNBREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING

Steps:

• DAY BEFORE OR EARLY IN THE DAY.
• Make cornbread.
• Pinch up other bread into 1/2" pieces and toast in oven until dry but not brown or hard. I use a large cookie sheet at 200 degrees for 1 hours.
• Dice celery and onion and keep refrigerated.
• 2 1/2 HOURS BEFORE SERVING.
• Crumble cornbread by hand into the bowl with the bread.
• Add the eggs, sage, salt and pepper.
• Add 2 cups of turkey broth.
• Add the cream.
• Add additional chicken broth, until you reach the right consistency. Be careful not to add too much as the dressing will not set. (You want enough liquid so that the bread will soak it up and still be just slightly soupy.).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If using the same oven as the turkey, plan to cook longer to accommodate the lower oven temperature.).
• If not using a disposable pan, spray pan with Pam AND line it with heavy duty aluminum foil or regular aluminum foil, doubled. Spray the foil as well.
• 1 1/4 HOUR BEFORE SERVING.
• Place dressing in the oven.
• Check on it starting at 45 minutes. Depending on the size of your pan (the depth of the dressing), it will take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 1 1/4 hour to get done.
• Serve and enjoy!
