Best Stuffing

salted butter butter

leeks (halved, thinly sliced, and rinsed well (2 cups))

celery (diced (1¾ cups))

garlic

sea salt

black pepper

sage

parsley

rosemary

thyme leaves

vegetable broth

eggs (beaten)

olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x11 or 9x13-inch baking dish.

Tear the bread into 1-inch pieces and place in a very large bowl.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes, turning the heat to low halfway through. Pour the leek mixture over the bread and sprinkle with the sage, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Use your hands to toss until coated. Pour 1½ cups of the broth evenly over the stuffing and toss to coat. Add the eggs and toss again. The bread should feel pretty wet. If it’s still a bit dry, mix in the remaining ½ cup of broth. The amount you use will depend on how dense and dry your bread was.

Transfer the mixture to the baking dish. If making ahead, stop here, cover the dish with foil, and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

When ready to bake, drizzle the olive oil on top and bake, covered, for 30 minutes. If the stuffing is still pretty wet, uncover the dish and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes to crisp the top a bit.

This made-from-scratch, savory Thanksgiving cornbread stuffing recipe is filled with sage, thyme, and Italian chicken sausage.

Cornbread Stuffing Recipe

olive oil spray

yellow cornmeal

all-purpose flour flour

baking powder

fat-free milk

honey

neutral tasting oil

chicken

onions (chopped, about 3 cups)

celery (from 6 to 7 ribs)

Thyme (pronounced like 'time') is an evergreen herb with culinary, medicinal, and ornamental uses. The most common variety is Thymus vulgaris. Thyme is of the genus Thymus of the mint family (Lamiaceae), and a relative of the oregano genus Origanum.

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan generously with oil.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.

Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add milk, eggs, honey and oil.

Stir just until the mixture comes together and there are only a few lumps remaining.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22-24 minutes until the top is lightly browned and sides have pulled away from pan; a toothpick inserted into center will come out clean.

Once it cools, cube it and set aside. It’s fine to leave it out overnight if making ahead. This makes 9 cups.

For the cornbread:

Preheat oven to 300°F. Spray a 9 x 12 inch baking dish with oil.

Place cubed cornbread on a large sheet pan. Bake, gently stirring twice, until lightly toasted and firm, about 35 minutes. Cool completely; transfer to a large bowl. Increase oven to 350F.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up until browned.

Add onion, celery and parsley; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 12 minutes.

Add thyme, sage, salt and pepper; continue to cook for 5 minutes.

Add onion mixture to bowl with beaten eggs and cornbread. Drizzle broth over stuffing mixture; gently toss until evenly moistened.

Spoon stuffing into prepared baking dish and bake 350F uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes.

For the stuffing:
