Countdown to Thanksgiving: Healthier Cherry Cornbread Stuffing #glutenfree
I was introduced to Mirassou Winery at Bloggy Bootcamp Denver in September. Not only was it a treat to sample their wonderful wines at the closing cocktail party, it was a neat opportunity to meet a member of the Mirassou family, and learn about the history of the winery.
Wine for the holidays
The Mirassou Facebook page is a terrific resource to find out the best wine pairings for the food you’ll be serving during the holidays. It also features a “where to buy” tab so you can find Mirassou wines near you.
Cornbread stuffing and turkey both pair well with Mirassou® California Pinot Noir, which is what I’ll be serving next week.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds frozen sweet cherries, thawed
1 pound sweet or hot Italian turkey sausage
1/4 cup buttery spread
1 large onion, peeled and diced
4 stalks stalks celery, diced
6 cups crumbled day old cornbread
1 (14.5 ounce.) can low sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions
Drain cherries in a sieve and press between several layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture and coarsely chop; set aside.
Remove the sausage from the casings and crumble into a medium skillet. Cook for 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and blot with paper towels to remove extra fat.
Melt the buttery spread in a large skillet. Add the onion and celery; cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
Mix together the sausage, vegetables and cornbread in a large bowl with the broth and rosemary.
Season to taste with pepper and fold in the cherries.
Transfer to a buttered 13 x 9-inch baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
