Ingredients

• 8 cups Cornbread
• 4 cups Day-old bread
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 4 stalks Celery, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Chicken or turkey broth
• 2 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Crumble the cornbread and day-old bread into a large mixing bowl, breaking them into small, uniform pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped sage, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Pour the cooked onion and celery mixture into the bowl with the crumbled breads. Toss gently to combine.

Step 6

Gradually pour the chicken or turkey broth into the bowl, stirring as you go. The mixture should be moist but not overly soggy. Adjust the broth quantity as needed.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and then pour them into the bread mixture. Stir well to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Cover the dish with foil.

Step 9

Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Allow the dressing to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy Granny's Turkey Dressing with your holiday meal!
