Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (crumbled) Cornbread
- 4 cups (cubed) Day-old bread
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups (diced) Yellow onion
- 1.5 cups (diced) Celery
- 4 cups Chicken or turkey broth
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Sage
- 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large 9x13 baking dish and set it aside.
Prepare the cornbread ahead of time. Once cooled, crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
Add the cubed day-old bread to the mixing bowl with the crumbled cornbread. Toss gently to combine.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions and celery until they are tender and fragrant, about 7–9 minutes.
Pour the sautéed vegetables and melted butter over the bread mixture. Stir gently to combine.
In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the chicken or turkey broth and eggs. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread and vegetables.
Sprinkle the sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Add the chopped parsley and mix until everything is evenly combined and the dressing is moist. If the mixture is too dry, add more broth, 1/4 cup at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Scoop the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the dressing cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with turkey and all the fixings!
