Notes
- Make the cornbread the day before you make the stuffing and leave it out to dry out slightly. This way it will soak up all of those wonderful flavors.
- Fresh sage and parsley create the best flavors in this recipe, but you can use dried if you are in a pinch.
- Ensure that the bread is well covered with the mixture and nothing is left dry.
