Ingredients

  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 cups frozen corn processed in a food processor to a puree
  • 3 cups coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large onions diced
  • 3 celery stalks diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 2 batches of cornbread crumbled by hand or a food processor
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 to 2 cups of chicken or turkey broth to moisten

Instructions

  • Cornbread:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9- x 13-inch pan, or a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, corn puree, coconut milk, honey, and evoo together. 
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. 
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake at 400°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out dry. Cool cornbread. Wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Let cornbread come to room temperature before crumbling for stuffing.
  • Stuffing:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Skip this step if you’re baking this recipe inside a turkey.
  • Lightly coat a large sauté pan with 2 teaspoons of evoo, and place over medium-high heat. In batches, sauté onions and celery until dark brown. Season each batch with salt and pepper.
  • Add garlic to the last batch, and cook until slightly softened and very fragrant.
  • Combine onion mixture with parsley, thyme, sage, crumbled cornbread, and dried cranberries. Season with salt and pepper. Moisten stuffing with broth so that it just comes together. 
  • Bake in 350°F oven for 30 to 45 minutes. Or, if cooking inside a turkey, store dry mixture in refrigerator, then moisten with broth just before stuffing. Serve warm.
