Anyone have a southern recipe for cornbread and sausage struffing, other than the fictional mayor of New York on the Blue Bloods?

1 pound(s) sweet Italian turkey sausage, (about 4 links), casings removed
2 cup(s) finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cup(s) finely chopped celery
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 pound(s) prepared cornbread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
1/4 cup(s) chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh sage
2 1/4 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth

---

Directions
1.Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2.Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add onion and celery; cover, reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add cornbread, parsley and sage.
3.Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour 1 cup over the stuffing mixture and toss gently (the cornbread will break into smaller pieces). Add as much of the remaining broth as needed, 1/2 cup at a time, until the stuffing feels moist but not wet. Spoon the stuffing into the prepared pan and cover with foil.
4.Bake the stuffing until thoroughly heated, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

I do a semi homemade sausage dressing using a package of cornbread stuffing. I use 1 can of fat free chicken broth instead of water and a half stick of margarine. If its a little dry I add some water and then I fry up some country sausage with onions and mix it up with black olives and mushrooms. Sprinkle a little Tony Chechere on top and bake it in a baking dish according the instructions on the bag. Mighty dang tasty.

I have been making Sausage and Apple stuffing for years. When almost done frying up the sausage I add cubes of apples (1 or 2 apples) to get them just a bit golden and then throw them into the breading, etc. It’s requested every year.

When making your favorite sausage stuffing - throw some apple chunks in too - gives a sweet and delicate difference and cuts the fattiness/heaviness of the sausage on the taste buds.
