How to Make Anita's Cornbread Dressing
- **Bake the Cornbread:** Prepare and bake one loaf of cornbread according to package directions. Let it cool completely before crumbling.
- **Crumble the Cornbread:** Crumble the cooled cornbread into a large (approximately 13x9 inch) aluminum foil pan.
- **Add the Broth:** Pour the turkey broth (including cooked celery and onions) over the crumbled cornbread. Ensure the cornbread is thoroughly moistened and slightly sloppy.
- **Season and Mix:** In a bowl, combine poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the seasonings to the cornbread mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- **Pour Melted Butter:** Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dressing.
- **Add Eggs (optional):** Gently whisk in the lightly beaten eggs for a firmer texture. (Optional, omit if preferred).
- **Bake:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-60 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top. Check for doneness after 35 minutes; baking time may vary depending on your oven and desired moisture level.
- **Rest:** Allow the dressing to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the dressing to set slightly.
