Re: Making my first turkey ddinner

I make this every year for Thanksgiving, and everyone raves for it. I make the cornbread a few days in advance so it can dry out (I buy the cornbread mix in the store) but I prepare everything else the day before so it can soak up all the flavor.

1/2 loaves cornbread

2 medium red onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

6 shallots (about 1/2 pound), cut lengthwise into sixths

5 leeks (about 1 pound), white and pale green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick pieces

3 celery ribs, chopped

1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

1 stick unsalted butter

3/4 pound vacuum-packed or canned whole chestnuts

3 1/2 cups chicken broth

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cut cornbread into 1/2-inch cubes and in 2 large shallow baking pans bake in middle of oven until just dry, about 20 minutes.

In a large heavy skillet cook red onions, shallots, leeks, celery, herbs with salt and pepper to taste in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until onion mixture is golden brown, softened, about 25 minutes.

If using canned chestnuts, rinse and drain. In a saucepan simmer vacuum-packed or canned chestnuts in 2 cups broth 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, toss together bread, onions, chestnut mixture, remaining 1 1/2 cups broth and salt and pepper to taste and cool completely. Stuffing may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring stuffing to room temperature before proceeding.
To cook all or part of stuffing outside poultry: In a shallow baking dish bake stuffing in preheated 325 degree oven 45 minutes (for moist stuffing, bake covered entire time; for less moist stuffing with a slightly crisp top, uncover halfway through baking time).
