Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter or unrefined coconut oil, plus more for the baking dish
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 8 oz ground turkey (not extra lean)
  • 2 tsp Soulful Seasoning Salt
  • 3 tsp Sassy Seasoning Spice Blend
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Spicy Pepper Blend
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
  • 1 Skillet Cornbread (recipe follows) or cornbread made from a mix, preferably a day or two old
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2.5 cups good quality store-bought broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the turkey and Soulful Seasoning Salt and cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until cooked through with no pink spots remaining, 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the Sassy Seasoning Spice Blend, paprika, and Spicy Pepper Blend and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the thyme and sage and remove from the heat
  6. In a large bowl, break the cornbread into small chunks (some pieces will crumble, which is okay)
  7. Stir in the onion-turkey mixture, then add the eggs and stir them in well
  8. Stir in enough broth to make the mixture moist enough to hold its shape when pressed, but not so much that it becomes runny.
  9. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 35 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for 20 minutes more, or until the top is fully set and nicely browned.
  10. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Serve.
