  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray.

  8. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with sage leaves if desired. Serve.

Notes

  • You can make your homemade cornbread up to a month in advance and freeze it until you’re ready to make stuffing.
  • I prefer to crumble my cornbread into larger pieces as it will break down some more when you mix everything together.
  • This recipe is really best when baked as directed in a dish, rather than using it to stuff a turkey. If you use this to stuff a bird you won’t get that same great crispy texture on top!
