Wonderful! I really enjoyed this, and I made this with your cornbread. This was my first time to your web site. I will be back. Thanks!

A big distinction needs to be made here. Mary Frances, I don’t know where you are originally from, but you are definitely a Southern girl if this recipe is anything like your grandmother’s. For those who are confused, Southerners do not “stuff” the bird. We eat pan dressing smothered with giblet gravy. This is not a recipe for stuffing, which is a bit more dry in nature because the drippings from the bird moisten it as it cooks. The dressing is more like a modified cornbread. One tip to add to the recipe, which my family has done and may be what you are missing in your recipe Mary Frances, is that the “stock” added should actually be part turkey drippings and part broth from the cooking of the giblets. In my family (which is pretty big), the one who cooks the turkey is the one who cooks the dressing and gravy because one can not be done without the others. Then when you are done with making the dressing, put about a cup of the finished product into your giblet pot and all is well! I am unfortunately going this year to dinner where they will be eating gluten free but not having anything like this. Definitely, I will be giving it a try GF like this next year for myself. Good luck to everyone. And thank you Mary Frances.

I have a question on this cornbread stuffing. I have a great recipe for “swiss chicken” Which I make with a gf cream of chicken soup recipe that I love. It calls for pepperidge farm cornbread stuffing mix – dry on the top. I use corn bread crumbs, but I’d sure like to be able to make some stuffing mix up ahead of time with the sage, etc. and just keep it on hand. Any suggestions?

This recipe was such a major hit for Thanksgiving, 2009 that I’m making it tomorrow for Christmas. This is the BEST dressing I’ve EVER had… and it’s the first time I’ve ever had cornbread dressing. I will make this over and over for every Holiday. Thanks so much! Also, I’ve been gluten free for over a year and I’ve never visited your site before. I’ll have to check out the rest of your site! Thanks again and God bless!

How would I modify this to put it into the turkey? I presume I’ll cut back on the broth amount and make it a drier mixture going into the turkey.

Once again, another winner. I made this for a client yesterday, and she said it was the best dressing she ever had, gluten free or not! She was so happy to have her own Thanksgiving dishes to enjoy with her family. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes. The cornbread was wonderful, too! p.s. – I did use the 4 cups of broth. It was the texture of our family’s favorite dressing – soft on the inside, a little crispy on the outside. Yummy.

I consider myself to be a real dressing snob, and I have to say that this is the BEST dressing I have EVER had, even before I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. Being a Southern gal, cornbread dressing is a serious matter, and I have missed it so much! Even my very traditional meat and potatoes in-laws ate it at Thanksgiving and loved it. I didn’t bother to tell them it was GF. And my family and I are having it with our Christmas dinner- yea! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipe, and I look forward to trying more of your yummy food! Happy Holidays! ,
