Cornbread Celery Apple Stuffing

Posted on by

When not hosting Thanksgiving, bring stuffings. This is my fave.

Make 2 bags Pepperidge Farm Cornbread stuffing as directed.

Separately, in a large skillet, in a little olive oil, brown one sweet onion, coarsely chopped. Add 2 cups peeled, cored, chopped tart green apples, 2 cups thickly sliced celery stalks. Brown. Add ground black pepper, garlic powder to taste.

Blend mixture loosely into the cornbread stuffing. Put in a baking dish in 375 degree oven covered until heated through.

When ready to eat at your host’s home, pop into a hot oven uncovered to reheat and crisp on the top before serving.

Perfect side with Osso Buco, Braised Oxtails or even the traditional Thanksgiving Day turkey. Smooth. Nutty. Delicious.

Chop a large peeled turnip into small chunks and cover with water in a saucepan. Cover and boil until chunks are tender. Drain. Let cool to room temperature.

In a bowl, hand mash with a 1/4 stick butter and 1/4 cup milk. Season with salt  & pepper to taste. Stir in 1/2 cup plain yogurt, and add a pinch of cayenne. With a hand mixer, blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour into a casserole dish and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbly and brown on top.
