Cornbread Sausage Stuffing Bites Recipe: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, which will take about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped sausage and sage to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cranberries and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Add the cornbread to the skillet and toss gently to combine.

Step 5

Whisk together the turkey stock and eggs in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the cornbread mixture and toss gently to combine.

Step 6

Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until the stuffing is slightly puffed and golden brown on top, which should take about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let the stuffing rest for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pans and arranging on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
