Cornbread Dressing

Before starting, have on hand cornbread (click link), 3 boiled eggs, stock from giblets (or 3-4 cups chicken
bullion).  Giblets come from inside turkey and are boiled – stock is the flavored water from cubes.

1/4 Pound Butter (1 stick)
2 Medium chopped onions
1 Cup finely chopped celery
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 quarts cornbread, torn into pieces (6 cups)
1 teaspoon salt and pepper (each)
1 teaspoon sage (dried)
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (dried)

Sauté onion and celery in butter until tender then mix in with cornbread. Use stock or bullion.
Add salt, pepper, sage, and poultry seasoning.  You want this mixture to be really moist to the point of
being s
oupy.
Pour mixture in 9 by 13 baking dish and bake at 300 degrees until light brown on top – 1-2 hours.  Don’t leave too
long or it will be dry.  After an hour, check center to see if it is still runny.  Keep baking until center is
slightly firm.  It really tastes MUCH better the second day so is best to make day before but is still
yummy on day you make it.
