Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey sausage
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup celery chopped
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 6 cups cornbread cubes dried
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 ¼ cups vegetable broth
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, crumbling as you go. Cook through, then remove from skillet, drain, and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until onions are translucent.
- Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet, along with the sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly mixed, then remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the cornbread and dried cranberries to the bowl and gently mix to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the broth and eggs. Pour the mixture over the cornbread sausage mixture, stirring to evenly coat.
- Pour into a greased baking dish and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until brown and crunchy. Serve!
Notes
- It is really important that your cornbread cubes are dry to prevent a super soggy stuffing! The easiest way to do that is to cube your cornbread and leave it out on the counter for a few days before making the recipe.
- You can swap pork or chicken sausage for the turkey sausage if you prefer!
- This recipe can be made up to 2 days ahead of time, then reheated in the oven at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes covered. Remove the cover, then bake 10 minutes more to get the crisp top again.
