Mmm stuffing...

So the big day of cooking is here.... and although I would love to tell you about my family's entire menu for the day, I don't think we have the time! But what I will tell you is the delicious stuffing recipe my sister made up. Here it is!

Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 onions, chopped
• 6 large cornmeal muffins, cubed
• Handful fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 cup pork sausage
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sausage, cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes soft and caramelized.

Add the sage and then put it all into a large mixing bowl. Add the cornbread pieces, pre-seasoned with salt and pepper, and fold it all together until it's well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and stock, and pour it all over the cornbread. Stir the stuffing together.

You can either stuff the stuffing into the turkey, or you could also spoon it into a buttered baking dish and put it in the oven with the turkey. We usually cook it by itself but it's up to you!

Bake until hot and crusty on top, about 30 minutes.
