Steps:

• 1. Cook cornbread according to package instructions. Allow to cool.
• 2. Crumble into a large mixing bowl.
• 3. Add the stuffing cubes to the bowl.
• 4. Heat a saute pan and add the sausage. Saute until cooked through, breaking up the sausage until crumbly.
• 5. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and add to the bowl with the bread cubes and cornbread. Retain 4 Tbsp of the grease from the sausage.
• 6. Return saute pan with the 4 Tbsp of the grease from the sausage to the heat (add butter if there isn't enough sausage grease). Add the onion and celery and saute until soft and translucent (about 10 minutes).

MAMA'S BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Tear or cube bread into pieces and spead into shallow pans or baking sheets. Do this a few days before and let dry out, or use the oven method above in the recipe description.
• Melt butter in broth.
• Combine all other ingredients in a LARGE bowl.
• Add broth/butter a bit at a time until very moist (will dry out some during cooking). You may not need all of the broth, or you may need to add a little broth or water if not moist enough.
• Put stuffing mix in a large baking dish and bake, covered, for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours, uncovering during last 15-20 minutes.
• This also freezes well.

EASY SCOTCH EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to a rapid boil, then lower four of the eggs into the pan and simmer for 7 mins 30 secs exactly. Scoop out and place in a bowl of iced water, cracking the shells a little (this makes them easier to peel later). Leave them to cool completely, then peel and set aside. Can be boiled the day before.
• Put the sausagemeat, pepper, ham, stuffing and herbs in a small bowl, mix to combine, then divide into four equal balls. Squash one of the balls between a piece of cling film until it's as flat as possible. One at a time, lightly flour each cooked egg, then use the cling film to help roll the sausagemeat around the egg to completely encase. Repeat with the remaining sausageballs and eggs.
• Beat the remaining egg and put on a plate. Put the flour and breadcrumbs on two separate plates. Roll the encased eggs in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Can be prepared up to a day in advance.
• To cook the eggs, heat 5cm of the oil in a wide saucepan or wok until it reaches 160C on a cooking thermometer or until a few breadcrumbs turn golden after 10 secs in the oil. Depending on the size of your pan, lower as many eggs as you can into the oil, and cook for 8-10 mins until golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper, leave to cool a little, then serve halved with some piccalilli.

MOM'S SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• If using giblets to create your own broth, simmer in a medium pan with at least 2 cups of water for 1 1/2 hours prior to making this stuffing. If using bone broth or other broth, prepare and set aside.
• Saute sausage in a medium skillet until brown. When the sausage is browned, add 3 tablespoons butter, diced celery and onion, (if you are using) and saute it all together on low until vegetables are soft. In a bowl, mix 2 eggs and at least one cup of the liquid (milk and giblet water), add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, mix well and set aside. In a large roaster or large bowl, place the breadcrumbs and pour the sausage mixture over the top. Pour the egg/liquid ingredients over that and begin mixing. I usually put a plastic glove on and use my hands! Mix until moist. You will most likely need to add more giblet water/broth to make it moist. Prepare the turkey for baking, according to directions on the package. Place enough stuffing to fill the turkey cavity 2/3 full. Follow the directions on the package to roast the turkey according to weight and oven temperature with stuffing. The internal temperature of the stuffing should be 165* when done.
• The stuffing can be baked separately in a crockpot by using a liner, cooking on low, check temperature at 45 minutes.
• Oven baked: Line a 9x9 pan ( or similar) with parchment paper, foil or baking bag and grease it thoroughly before adding stuffing. It will stick and you will never get it out of the pan if you do not follow this step! Bake at 350* for 30 minutes and check for internal temperature of 165* adjust time accordingly until fully cooked. Watch it so that it does not burn.
