Please Share Your Best Thanksgiving Cornbread

luvs2eat · October 25, 2005

I've been making cornbread for many years, but the few times I've attempted dressing/stuffing, it's been a tasteless failure.

Please share your favorite recipe. And do you put this dressing/stuffing IN the bird to cook?

This is the recipe that I make, it is a modification of this one:

Open Original Shared Link

This is sooo good, people don't even know the difference.

* 4 shallots, minced

* 2 onions, diced

* 5 celery ribs, diced

* 5 carrots, diced

* 2-3 TB butter (I use soybean butter)

* 2 tbl dry sage

* 2 tbl dry thyme

* 2 tbl dry summer savory

* dash of pepper

* 1 cup white wine

* 1 loaf gluten-free bread, cubed (I use Kinnikinnick Italien white tapico, thawed)

* 1 cup gluten-free chicken stock (I use 1 cup of Imagine chicken broth, or 2

cubes of McCormick chicken bouillon and 1 cup of water).

Sauté the vegetables in the butter until they are soft, and the onions begin to carmelize. Add the seasonings and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the white wine, and continue cooking over medium heat until the liquid is reduced by half.

In a large bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables with the bread cubes, chicken stock, and parsley. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes at 325° F.

Variations:

Add finely diced sausage or bacon bits to the sauté, or toss in diced chestnuts, apples, or raisins. For cornbread stuffing, try adding dried cranberries or toasted pecans.

Thanks This recipe is very tasty and you can modify it and it still tastes good.

I don't put it in the turkey, but I am sure it would taste fine if it was. I just make it in a big casserole dish. I make enough so that I can have leftovers and eat turkey dinners for a few days

Thanks so much for the recipe! This will be my first Thanksgiving with celiac disease (diagnosed that is) and I was really going to miss the stuffing. Now I won't! Thank you!
