My Easy & Affordable Cornbread Stuffing Recipe Is Perfect For The Holidays

I have partnered with Feeding America to raise awareness of the millions of families struggling to put a meal on the table and feed their children. As a mother, it literally brings me to tears when I imagine what it would be like for my own children to be hungry and being unable to provide for them. There is enough food to go around for everyone and together we can end hunger in America!

I created this Cornbread Stuffing Recipe in support of Feeding America's mission. It's incredibly easy and affordable to make and hopefully your family will enjoy it as much as mine does!

Check out the recipe below, and head over to People.com to get the holiday recipes shared by other celebrities and chefs in support of this wonderful cause.

Ingredients: 

2 packages corn bread mix (baked and preferably 1 day old)
12-14 oz. organic ground turkey (not extra lean)
2 tbsp. coconut oil
4 ribs of celery, chopped
1 large yellow onions, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp. fresh sage, chopped
2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. sea salt

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a heavy skillet, sauté onion and celery in coconut oil until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add ground turkey, thyme, sage, pepper, sea salt and paprika. Cook on medium heat until meat is cooked all the way through. Remove from heat.

2. In a large bowl, break apart cornbread into small chunks. Add the sautéed meat and chicken broth, mix together well.

 (Some people like to add  two whisked eggs with the chicken broth which is fine if choose to do!)

Transfer to a 13×9 2-inch casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes then remove foil and cook another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and serve warm.
