Ingredients

Pantry Ingredients:
EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Poultry seasoning
4 large corn muffins, cut into 1-inch cubes
EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
1 pound chorizo sausage, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 cups turkey stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper

Yields: Serves 6

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the cornbread cubes on a baking sheet and bake until lightly golden in color and slightly dried out, about 15-20 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of EVOO over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Add the onion and cook until tender, 5-6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

Add the toasted cornbread cubes, parsley and stock to the bowl and gently mix. (use your hands if you like -- it’s fun!). The mixture should be moist but not soggy; add a little more stock if you like your stuffing wetter.

Season the stuffing with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Place in a 9x13" buttered baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. (To keep the stuffing moist; cover the top loosely with foil while it bakes.)
