Samie's Southern Cornbread Dressing

It's Turkey time!

• Jimmy Deans Sausage....1-2 pounds (regular or sage)
• whole chicken, additional celery and onions[ boiled slowly with lots of seasoning]
• 1 yellow onion
• 1/2 cup celery
• 1or 2 large bell peppers
• sage seasonings
• poultry seasoning
• Tony's Chachere's Cajun Seasonings
  
• salt and pepper
• green onions { do not over saute or you can just add them last}
• 4-6 boiled eggs diced finely
• 1/2 loaf day old white bread
• 2 large pans cornbread (un sweet)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Use the drippings from your turkey if you have it and you are not using them for gravy
• 1 chicken....season and boil slowly with onions and celery...the better your stock....the better the final product
• debone and save stock
• corn bread...the better the bread...the better the final product....NOT sweet CORNBREAD!
• and white bread 1 - 2 cups crumbled
• brown sausage in large skillet, add veggies and saute until clear...
• I love celery so I add more....

• In roasting pan crumble bread and cornbread....salt and pepper to taste
• mix in sausage mixture, chicken...and stock until mixture is wet but not soupy!
• add sage seasoning and any other of your favorites seasonings to taste....there is a poultry seasoning I like as well....taste and adjust....add eggs and green onions
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until completely hot
• If you are baking a turkey....add drippings to bread mixture and stir in...
• If you like it wet, cover and add more juice....

Watch the top and sides so it doesn't dry out. Add liquids (stock) to adjust moisture.

There are no exacts in this recipe...adjust according to your likes....wet or dry....
lots of veggies or not so many....chicken or not....eggs or not
You can use boxed chicken stock, rotisserie chicken, even hamburger meat....
I love sage, sausage , celery and bell peppers....and semi wet....
The more flavors you can infuse, meaning if you can get those great turkey drippings, the better. ~ Samie
