Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (casing removed)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish and foil
- 1 recipe gluten-free cornbread, cut into large cubes
- 2 medium white onions, chopped
- 4 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- ½ cup dried cranberries (Craisins)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon rubbed sage
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Heat oven to 375°F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage and 1 Tbs. of rubbed sage, breaking it up with a spoon until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and reserve skillet.
Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Divide the cornbread between 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until dry and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, occasionally stirring, until very tender and beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the dried cranberries and wine and cook until evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes; transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
Add broth, eggs, sausage, and parsley and ½ teaspoon salt to the vegetables and toss to combine. Begin to layer the dried cornbread and the sausage and vegetable mixture in the prepared baking pan. Do not toss the bread with the sausage mixture or the cornbread will break down. Layer bread, then sausage mixture, ending with bread.
Cover with buttered foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until browned, 20 to 30 minutes more.
