Air Fryer Cornbread Sausage Stuffing — We all know that stuffing is an integral part of any Thanksgiving feast. But what if you’re tired of the same old recipe?

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, salted and melted
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage, cooked
  • 12 ounces cornbread,  dried/stale cornbread cubes or seasoned cornbread stuffing mix (two small boxes)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 375 degrees F, air fryer setting.
  2. In a skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Saute the celery and onion in the melted butter until soft and the onion is translucent.
  3. Place the cornbread crumbs into a large bowl. Add the sauteed celery and onion – be sure to use a spatula to scrape all of the butter from the pan and into the breadcrumb bowl as well.
  4. Combine the chicken broth, remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter, garlic salt, pepper, and onion powder. Add the eggs to the broth mixture and whisk to fully combine.
  5. Pour the liquid mixture over the breadcrumb mixture and toss to combine and mix thoroughly.
  6. Butter a casserole dish that will fit in your air fryer. I suggest a deep dish 8” round casserole dish.
  7. Spread the cornbread mixture into the buttered dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  8. Cook in the air fryer at 375 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 30-45 minutes, covered until the stuffing mixture is cooked through.
  9. Uncover, stir, and bake for 5 minutes more until the top is golden brown.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
  11. Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for one month.

Recipe Notes:

  • The ground sausage is optional-it adds an immense burst of flavor. Be sure to cook the sausage before adding it to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • You can also use freshly baked cornbread. Cut into pieces and set out on the counter for several hours until dry/stale.
  • Use a digital instant-read thermometer to check the temperature deep down in the stuffing. The stuffing should be nice and hot (160°F for safe cooking of the eggs).
