Holiday time is a great time for cornbread stuffing but it can be made year around. This is an easy casserole combining pre-baked cornbread and pre-cooked turkey breast. soooo good you will want to add it to your week night dinners.
Enjoy

A casserole using cornbread stuffing and cooked turkey breast (or chicken)
Total Time
1 hr
Ingredients
- 1 pan of cornbread baked, cooled and crumbled.(use a cornbread mix if desired)
- Let the cornbread sit to dry out.
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 stalks celery, chopped.
- 1 stick of butter, melted
- 12 slices of white or whole wheat bread
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 2 cups of sliced or coarsely chopped cooked turkey breast or chicken.
Instructions
- Heat butter and add onion and celery
- Cook about 7 minutes until softened.
- Put cornbread into large bowl and add about 12 slices of white bread pulled into pieces.
- Add the celery, onion and chicken broth. (either homemade or the boxed broth)
- Mix well adding more broth as needed.
- The dressing should not be soupy, but should not be dry either.
- Add dried cranberries.
- Add ground sage and poultry seasoning.
- Salt and pepper
- Lightly grease a 9X13 baking dish or round casserole dish.
- Put the dressing or stuffing into the casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees
- Add precooked turkey (or chicken) to the top of the casserole, and cover with foil and continue baking for about 15 minutes more.
Notes
- You can also use chopped fresh sage, but remember that fresh is much stronger than the bottled ground spices.
- I like to bake a turkey breast and put the slices on top of the cornbread dressing. Cover with foil to prevent dryness. You can always add a small amount of chicken broth to the top of the breast slices for more moistness just before serving.

Thanks for posting this recipe. My mother in law used to make something similar but I never got her recipe. I did a search and found a lot of odd recipes out there.
