Corn Bread Stuffing
Recipe courtesy of chef Sam Beall, The Blackberry Farm Cookbook
Ingredients
- 6 cups of diced corn bread
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
- 1 red pepper, cored, seeded and diced
- 3 stalks of celery, diced
- 8 to 10 ounces of turkey giblets, chopped
- 4 ounces smoked breakfast sausage (either lose or links, casings removed)
- 1½ cups fresh bread crumbs, toasted
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 to 2½ cups chicken stock or chicken broth
Directions
1) To make the stuffing, spread the corn bread on a rimmed baking sheet and let it dry either by leaving it on the counter overnight or by placing it in a 300 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until just crisped but not browned.
2) Set aside.
3) In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Stir in the onions, green pepper, red pepper, and celery and cook, stirring frequently, for about 6 minutes, until the vegetables are soft but not browned.
4) Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
5) Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the same skillet, add the giblets, and cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes, until they are cooked through; scrape into the bowl with the onion mixture.
