Makes about 12 cups
Time 1 hr 30 min

The flavors in this dressing are traditional, but it makes use of both whole wheat sourdough and cornbread. Full of sausage, mushrooms and hazelnuts, it's as delicious on its own as it is inside your Thanksgiving bird.

Method

Break sausage into small chunks and place in a medium saucepan on medium heat; cook just until it's no longer pink.


Add onion and cook until soft. Add celery and cook until bright green and still slightly crisp.


Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are chocolate brown.


Add sage, thyme and hazelnuts. Remove from heat. (You can do this part one day ahead and refrigerate this mixture.)


In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, broth and salt.


Stir in above mixture.


Add sourdough bread crumbs and toss until most of the liquid is absorbed.


Gently fold in cornbread.


Use about 3/4 cup per pound of turkey as stuffing. To bake extra outside the bird, press the dressing into a greased pan and bake alongside turkey during its last hour in the oven.
