Cornbread Stuffing With Sausage And Collard Greens Recipes

CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease or spray 2 cookie sheets. Place cubed cornbread on cookie sheets. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dry and crispy. Cool completely on cookie sheet.

With slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl; set aside. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and serrano chiles to Dutch oven. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned on edges.
• Add greens; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted. Add broth; heat to simmering. Cook 1 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, using spoon to release browned bits from bottom of pan. Remove from heat. Cool 5 minutes.
• Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Add eggs, parsley and thyme to bowl with sausage. Stir in cornbread. Pour broth mixture over stuffing ingredients in bowl. Pour into baking dish. Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until browned and crisp on top. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place sausage, celery and onions in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine sausage mixture with cornbread, bread crumbs, chicken broth, poultry seasoning and sage. Mix well and transfer to a 9x12 inch baking dish.
• Bake, covered, for 45 minutes or until well set and cooked through.

COLLARD-CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large deep skillet, saute 1/2 pound diced andouille sausage in 6 tablespoons butter for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add 1 chopped onion, 3 chopped celery stalks and 1 tablespoon each chopped thyme and sage; cook 5 minutes, then add 4 cups sliced collard greens and let wilt. Pour in 3 cups chicken broth. Simmer until step 5. In a large bowl, mix 2 large eggs. Add to the bowl 8 cups toasted white bread cubes, 6 cups crumbled cornbread and the hot broth mixture. Gently toss the stuffing, then spread in a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Dot the top with butter or turkey pan drippings, cover and bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Uncover and bake until golden, 20 more minutes.

CORNBREAD AND SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage (and giblets, if using) over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl.
• To pan, add onion, celery, and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat to medium; cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add to sausage.
• Add cornbread, sage, and eggs to sausage and vegetables. Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour 1/2 cup over stuffing, and toss gently (cornbread will break down into smaller pieces). If needed, add up to 1/2 cup more broth, until stuffing feels moist, but not wet. Stuff into turkey, using about 4 cups.
• Spoon remaining stuffing into an 8" baking pan; it should reach the top. Bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
