Corn Bread Dressing with Chestnuts
This recipe calls for baking the dressing separately from the turkey, which allows for faster roasting and more accurate timing of the bird. Be sure to toast the corn bread before combining it with the other ingredients. Fresh untoasted bread would absorb too much liquid, producing a soggy dressing.

Really Good
November 20, 2011
I've been using this recipe for a few years and it's now a family favorite. I do not like chestnuts though so use chopped pecans instead. Also have used dried cranberries in place of cherries...either taste fine. The bacon really gives it great flavor.
Pros: Easy, Appearance, Impressive

A holiday must
December 23, 2010
This recipe is perfect as is, although I leave out the bacon sometimes if I'm serving kosher or vegetarian friends. My family couldn't imagine a Thanksgiving or Christmas without this dressing!

Above anything else...
November 26, 2010
I have been making this stuffing for the past 3 years. I tend to use a larger ratio of vegetables and cranberries/cherries than the recipe calls for because I don't want the extra veggies to go bad in my fridge. Either way it is always amazing. The homemade cornbread really adds a richness and texture that other recipes lack. (I make the cornbread a day or two in advance). Whats even better is that I have family friends who specifically look forward to eatting this stuffing every year. So I would probably be disowned if I didn't make it! Thank you for making my Thanksgiving the best!

Yum! (Even good Gluten Free)
November 25, 2010
A fantastic combination of sweet, salty, sour, savoury, crunchy and soft. Our family has to cook gluten/wheat free. Fortunately, this recipe was easy to alter. I simply made gluten free cornbread and followed the WS recipe. It was so good we served it to all of our Thanksgiving guests, including friends who don't have to eat gluten free and it was an all around hit. The only downside is that it is a little pricey to make and caloric for everyday cooking.

A Hit at Thanksgiving!
May 14, 2010
I wish Thanksgiving was every month, so I had a reason to make this more often. I used canned chicken stock and bought cornbread from a bakery. I followed the directions to a T and it came out perfectly. It was wonderful as leftovers, too.

Wonderful for Traditional Holiday Meals!
April 30, 2010
I wasn't brave enough to try my grandmother's traditional dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas since there's no written recipe for it, but I wanted something with a traditional flavor and this recipe nailed it! I cheated a bit and bought pre-made cornbread from Whole Foods and I used dried cranberries instead of cherries. My local Williams-Sonoma was out of the chestnuts so I had to painstakingly boil and peel them - highly recommend the jar to save time (and your cuticals!). All the flavors of this recipe are wonderful with turkey and would go very well with chicken or pork!
