Name: Cornbread Chorizo Stuffing
Yield: Makes 16 cups of stuffing, enough for a 20- to 24-pound turkey
Ingredients: 2 loaves cornbread, homemade or store-bought; 4 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon dried thyme; Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste; 1 1/2 pounds chorizo or andouille sausage sausages, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 3 cups chopped red or yellow onions; 6 ribs celery, chopped; 1 cup dried apricots, halved; 1 cup dried cherries; 1 cup coarsely chopped pecan halves; 1/2 cup defatted chicken broth

NOTE:

Cook the stuffing in the turkey cavity and neck. Any extra can be cooked in a loosely covered, ovenproof dish at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
