This is a recipe for dressing that my entire family waits 11 months to eat! It's a simple, yet DELICIOUS recipe used on Thanksgiving and Christmas for the PERFECT cornbread dressing! I use Jiffy since my family LOVES the sweet flavor along with the salty/poultry seasonings! It gives the dish a wonderful balance.
Ingredients:
2 (8 1/2 ounce) boxes jiffy cornbread mix, boxes prepared as usual (or your own favorite cornbread)
1 cup turkey broth, along with dripping (or you could use chicken bullion or stock, whatever your preference)
1 egg
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
fresh parsley
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (or to taste)
salt and pepper, to your taste
pulled chicken (optional) or turkey (optional)
chicken gizzard (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Crumble cornbread into a baking dish.
3. Mix in veggies and meat with hands (or spoon/fork)
4. Beat egg and seasonings into stock and pour onto crumbs to make a consistancy of mud (add a little more for a moist texture).
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
