Ingredients

1 package jiffy corn muffin mix -- toasted

3/4 pound bulk sausage -- browned and drained

6 tablespoons butter

2 cups onion -- finely chopped

1 1/2 cups celery -- finely chopped

2 teaspoons sage -- dried crumbled

1 teaspoon marjoram

1 teaspoon rosemary

salt/pepper -- taste

1/2 cup scallions -- thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups chicken broth


Directions

Prepare cornbread according to directions Crumble bread on cookie sheet and toast in 375 oven Chop and saute onion and celery Brown sausage Combine all ingredients and taste. The original instructions said to "stuff 12-14 lb turkey or bake seperately w/ 1 1/2 c. broth in 3 to 4 qt casserole. dot w/ butter and cook 30 min, bake it uncovred for 30 min more." I never stuff a bird. I stir everything in a big pot, using part milk (or half and half) and part broth until its "slooshy". And sometimes I add sugar - like 1 or 2 tablespoons. Make sure it tastes good!!! NOTES : SHG note: i double this recipe, and I use 2 bunches green oinion, that's like 1 1/2 cups at least and only 1 pkg sausage. I put in 3 cups broth which is only doubled if i planned to put it in a turkey which i would never do- at least not much. they say its so dangerous. which is why i buy parts i like, thighs, and partially roast them then for the last 45 min or so, cook on top of dressing. i can never remember if i put in extra broth or milk so i'm updating my notes to clarify that this time i only used 3 cups broth. cooking under the thighs will add "juice" but will it be enough? we'll see. i plan to cook the things over veggies in a roasting pan until about 30 minutes til done. i'll have to start the dressing so it has only 30 min left when i put the things on. maybe i'll go ahead and add the other 3 cups of broth i preped... but what to do for gravy juice....roasting of thigh juice plus the other 1 1/2 cups broth i stashed in back of fridge. So here is thigh info: Roasting turkey thighs For those who prefer dark meat, roasting turkey thighs is an ideal alternative to roasting a whole turkey. Two boneless, skinless turkey thighs with a total weight of 2 lbs (1 kg) will take approximately 1½ - 1¾ hours to cook. Since all turkey thighs vary in size and shape, it is best to use a meat thermometer when roasting. Prepare turkey thighs in a roasting pan or baking pan as you would a whole turkey. (Brush with oil or melted margarine if thighs are skinless). Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the centre of the thickest part of the thigh. Loosely tent with foil or cover with a lid. Cook at 325°F (160°C) until the meat thermometer registers 170°F (77°C). From the butterball site; Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place Turkey Thighs skin side up in baking dish, brush with vegetable oil, and cover. Bake for 1 3/4 hours. or until tender. Uncover for the last 15 minutes.
