Ingredients

• 8 cups Cornbread
• 2 cups Day-old bread (cubed)
• 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 stalks Celery (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 large Eggs (beaten)
• 2 teaspoons Sage (dried)
• 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Crumble the cornbread into a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed day-old bread and mix to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Pour the sautéed vegetables and melted butter over the cornbread mixture. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Slowly pour this mixture over the cornbread mixture, stirring gently to combine. The mixture should be moist but not soupy.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is set in the center.

Step 9

Let the dressing cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or use it as stuffing for your holiday turkey.
