Ingredients

• 8 cups Cornbread
• 1 pound Pork sausage (crumbled, uncooked)
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large Yellow onion (diced)
• 3 stalks Celery (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1.5 cups Chicken or turkey broth
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Dried sage
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Spread the cornbread crumbles out on a large baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until lightly crisp. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and sauté for 5–6 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted cornbread, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to mix.

Step 6

Whisk together the chicken or turkey broth and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture over the cornbread stuffing, then gently fold until the liquid is evenly absorbed.

Step 7

Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover tightly with foil.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the stuffing cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
