Southern Cornbread Dressing image

I have made this dressing (this is NOT stuffing) for over 40 years. It is labor intensive but it is worth every bit of energy you put into it.

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 c freshly baked and cooled cornbread
6 hard boiled eggs - finely chopped
turkey giblets boiled tender and chopped
4-5 c chicken broth (from boiling giblets and parts)
1 c onions - finely chopped
1 Tbsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt and pepper (or to taste)
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
1 pkg fresh chicken backs - boiled until done.
1/2 c celery - finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Crumble baked cornbread. (I use my food processor) Spread cornbread thinly on a cookie sheet and bake in 375 degrees oven until lightly browned and dried out. Place crumbled cornbread in a large bowl.
  • 2. Boil giblets and chicken parts until tender. When tender remove from broth. Discard all bones and skin. Skim foam (sticking to the pot or floating around)and fat from broth. Set aside to cool. Finely chop giblets and meat of chicken parts. Reserving one scant cup for Easy Giblet Gravy.
  • 3. Add chopped boiled eggs and finely chopped onion. Add broth from the giblets, cream of chicken soup (undiluted) and chicken giblets and parts to cornbread mixture.
  • 4. Stir to combine all ingredients until it becomes consistency of cornbread before baking.You may have to add more low sodium broth that you have purchased in a box.
  • 5. Pour contents of bowl into a large (11x14) baking dish. Place in preheated 375 oven. Bake until golden brown and set. The middle may jiggle slightly.
  • 6. Serve piping hot with Easy Giblet Gravy
