- ½ cup celery - diced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz chicken broth - canned or homemade
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1½ tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp sage optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
- Sauté the onion and celery in the butter until softened. Set aside.
- Crumble the cooled cornbread into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sautéed vegetables, poultry seasoning, sage if using, salt, pepper, chicken broth, and buttermilk.
- Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or clean hands. The mixture should be thick and visibly moist but not runny or loose.
- Grease a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray or butter. A 9×13-inch baking dish can also be used.
- Spread the dressing mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top begins to turn golden brown.
Notes
Make the cornbread ahead and allow it to cool before assembling the dressing.
The dressing can be assembled the night before, covered, refrigerated, and baked the following day.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cornbread and verify that the broth, seasonings, and other packaged ingredients are also gluten-free.
