Classic Southern Cornbread Dressing Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 (16 ounce) packages dry corn bread mix
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 bunch celery, chopped
• 6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 2 cups turkey stock
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the cornbread according to the package directions. Allow it to cool completely, then crumble it into small pieces. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread with the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced celery, and hard-boiled eggs. Gently stir the ingredients together. Season with salt, pepper, and dried sage to taste.
3. Gradually add the chicken and turkey broth, one cup at a time, to the cornbread mixture. Stir gently until the cornbread is thoroughly moistened but not overly wet or soggy.
4. Transfer the cornbread dressing to a Dutch oven or loosely pack it into the cavity of a turkey. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the dressing reaches an internal temperature of 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) and is golden brown.
