Apple Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing
I love Thanksgiving. Okay let me be honest I love Thanksgiving stuffing!
And Thanksgiving mashed potatoes and Thanksgiving gravy…. I’m all about the side dishes.
Chorizo, cumin and oregano give this stuffing a hearty bite, while the cilantro and apple add a sweet perk. Make your favorite cornbread recipe or feel free to use a quality cornbread from your local bakery.
- 5 cups crumbled cornbread
- 1 pound chorizo
- 1 large onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 celery stalks diced
- 2 apples of your choice diced
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
- ½ cup cilantro
-
Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a 2 quart baking dish.
-
Bake the cornbread on a baking sheet for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted.
-
In a large skillet cook chorizo over medium high heat until brown.
-
Add onions, celery, oregano and cumin.
-
Sauté until lightly softened about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and add garlic and apples.
-
Continue to cook an additional 2 minutes.
-
Add broth to pan, stir to combine and loosen bits on bottom of pan.
-
Stir in cilantro and cornbread. Place the dressing into greased pan and bake for 40 minutes or until lightly brown.
Dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cover and place in fridge. Reheat in oven until hot.

I am right there with you – bring on the STUFFING! I think it is the best part of the meal – as well as the mashed potatoes and gravy.
I’m with you – cornbread dressing is the best part of any Thanksgiving meal! I absolutely love this one! The chorizo AND the apple make this very special and quite delicious, I’m sure!
That is absolutely wonderful! I love this take on traditional Tgiving stuffing 🙂

My goodness does that ever sound wonderful!!
I’m with you and the side dishes are my favorite. What a great idea for stuffing…my mouth is watering now. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to give this a try any time of year.
My kids told me that they wanted a cornbread stuffing this year…and this one sounds awesome. I mean, come on, chorizo and apples!? Yes, Please. 🙂
My hubby will loooooove this! I am going to make it this weekend 🙂
I WANT this.
Sounds and looks delicious.
YUMMY – inventive and looks delish! Missed your visits – but me thinks I am not cooking stuff that is that interesting to others right now… the Bolognese Pasta is a great post, though!
🙂

I love chorizo, this sounds fantastic!! I’ve been craving cornbread stuffing lately too, not sure why, but this recipe would definitely do the trick 🙂
Vianney, in 30 years I have never made anything but traditional savory stuffing with celery, onion, etc…. and now you’re tempting me to try a SW style. It sounds incredible. Chorizo, cilantro and apple, oregano, cumin = omg
The chorizo sounds delicious in this stuffing!
Surely very tasty! I love the idea.
Cheers,
Rosa
