Here is a great old fashioned cornbread stuffing recipe that will make your Thanksgiving meal different from the traditional bread stuffing.

For cornbread

1 c. yellow cornmeal

1 c. self-rising flour

1/4 c. sugar

1 c. milk or buttermilk

2 eggs

1/4 c. vegetable oil

For dressing

2 c. diced celery

1 c. chopped onion

2 tsp poultry seasoning

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 tbsp. sage

4cups turkey or chicken broth

3 large eggs

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover bottom of iron skillet with vegetable oil and heat in oven for about 5 minutes. (Do not let it get too hot.) Stir together cornmeal, flour and sugar in mixing bowl.

In another bowl, beat together milk, eggs and oil; add all at once to cornmeal mixture and stir just until moistened. Remove skillet from oven and pour batter into it. Return to oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until top is golden brown. Remove from skillet to cool.

Make the cornbread a day before you intend to make your dressing. Leave it out, uncovered, overnight.

Crumble cornbread into a large mixing bowl.

Saute celery and onions in butter until clear then  add celery, onion, sage, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper and mix well. Add beaten eggs and broth and mix until moistened.

Place mixture into a 13″x9″x2″ pan.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for about an hour. You can also use this dressing to stuff the turkey, but be sure to roast immediately after stuffing or store in the refrigerator wait until Thanksgiving morning to stuff the bird.
