Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Cornbread

    If you haven't done so already, prepare your cornbread according to your favorite recipe or package instructions. Allow it to cool, then crumble it into a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Cook Vegetables

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced celery and onion, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Shred Turkey

    Remove the skin from the smoked turkey and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In the bowl with the crumbled cornbread, add the cooked vegetable mixture, shredded turkey, and beaten eggs. Pour in the chicken broth gradually, mixing until the mixture is moist but not soggy.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake Dressing

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the dressing mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the dressing is heated through.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Let the dressing sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your smoked turkey and cornbread dressing as a delicious side dish!
