Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 servings of turkey and 2 1/2 cups of dressing

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups store-bought jerk sauce
1 10- to 12-pound turkey, giblets removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cornbread-Andouille Dressing (recipe follows)
1 cup unsalted butter or margarine, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, margarine or olive oil
1 cup 1/4-inch-diced turkey andouille sausage or smoked ham
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup finely diced celery, including some leaves
1/2 cup finely diced red or green bell pepper
1 1/2 cups stale homemade or store-bought cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning or Bell's Seasoning
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 cup chicken stock or broth, as needed

Steps:

  • Rub the jerk sauce evenly over the outside and inside of the turkey. Place the turkey breast-side down in a 2-gallon heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Refrigerate and marinate for 24 to 48 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Position the oven rack near the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350˚ F. Remove the turkey from the plastic bag. Wipe off the jerk sauce inside and out, pat the turkey dry, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Loosely pack the Cornbread-Andouille Dressing into the cavity. Pull back the skin over the breast and rub some butter under the skin. Rub the outside of the turkey with more butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Truss the turkey if desired, and place breast-side up in a large roasting pan at least 2 inches deep.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325˚ F and roast the turkey, basting frequently with the pan juices, until a meat thermometer registers 165˚ F, 3 to 3 1/2 hours; when the skin is golden brown, cover with foil to prevent over-browning. Remove the turkey from the oven and put it on a warmed platter. Cover loosely and let rest for 30 minutes before carving.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the sausage and cook about 2 minutes. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and saute until the vegetables are tender but not browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread cubes, poultry seasoning, thyme and salt and pepper. Stir in the cooled sausage mixture and egg.
  • Add the stock, a little at a time or as needed, until the mixture becomes moist but not wet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

My "tweaked" version of a Commander's Palace recipe. This has quickly become an instant Thanksgiving favorite. Really, a taste of New Orleans! If mirliton (or chayote squash) is unavailable, you can substitute eggplant. Important: Boil the mirlitons BEFORE peeling them, as peeling raw mirliton is murder on your hands!

Andouille dressing is a savory side dish that combines the smoky flavor of Andouille sausage with the unique taste of traditional dressings. It is a popular dish that is often served during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other special occasions. Making Andouille dressing is not difficult, but there are some tips that you can follow to ensure that you create a delicious and flavorful dish. In this article, we will share some valuable tips that you can use when making Andouille dressing recipes.

1. Use the Right Ingredients

The first tip for making great Andouille dressing is to use the right ingredients. You will need bread, onions, celery, chicken broth, eggs, butter, Andouille sausage, salt, and pepper. You can choose to use either fresh or dried bread, depending on your preference. Andouille sausage is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure that you use a good quality Andouille sausage.

2. Prepare the Bread

The bread is the base of the dressing, so it is important to prepare it properly. You can choose to use white bread, cornbread, or a combination of both. If you are using fresh bread, cut it into small cubes and leave it out for a day or two to dry. If you are using dried bread, you can skip this step. You can also toast the bread cubes in the oven for a few minutes to give them a crispy texture.

3. Cook the Andouille Sausage

The Andouille sausage is the star of this recipe, so it is important to cook it properly. You can choose to sauté it in a pan or bake it in the oven. If you are sautéing the sausage, make sure that you cook it until it is crispy and brown. If you are baking the sausage, cut it into thin slices and bake it in the oven for about 10 minutes until it is crispy.

4. Saute the Vegetables

The vegetables are another important part of this recipe. You will need to sauté the onions and celery in butter until they are soft and translucent. This will help to release their flavors and give the dressing a rich, savory taste.

5. Mix the Ingredients Together

Once you have prepared all the ingredients, it is time to mix them together. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, cooked Andouille sausage, and chicken broth. Mix everything together until the bread is moistened and the ingredients are evenly distributed.

6. Add the Eggs

The eggs are the binding agent in this recipe, so it is important to add them at the right time. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the bread mixture. Mix everything together until the eggs are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix the ingredients, as this can result in a dense and heavy texture.

7. Season with Salt and Pepper

Finally, season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to add too much salt, as the Andouille sausage is already salty. You can also add other seasonings like sage, thyme, or rosemary if you prefer.

Conclusion

Andouille dressing is a delicious and flavorful side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any special occasion.
