Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with butter.
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and sugar. Mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together 5 eggs, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and buttermilk. Gradually add this egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
-
Bake for about 55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cornbread cool completely.
-
To prepare the stuffing: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne, onion powder, oregano, thyme, basil, and bay leaves. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, combine minced onions, green onions, parsley, red bell peppers, chili peppers, and garlic.
-
In a large skillet, melt 1 cup of butter. Add the prepared spice mix and sauté for a few minutes. Then, add the vegetable mixture and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned. Pour in the stock and a dash of Tabasco sauce, then stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Crumble the cornbread into the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
-
Whisk together 7 eggs and evaporated milk, then pour this mixture into the skillet with the stuffing. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Discard the bay leaves. Transfer the stuffing to a bowl and let it cool before using to stuff the turkey.
