Cornbread and Sausage Dressing
I actually start with packaged cornbread dressing. I know Tom probably thinks this is cheating, but I don’t care. I usually double this recipe – stuffing the bird and making pan dressing. When I double the recipe, I don’t double the sausage. This can all be done a day ahead of time, but don’t stuff the turkey early, do that just before you put the bird in the oven. I usually don’t prep it all early since I run out of fridge space, but I cook the sausage and vegetables the night before…
