List of Ingredients
1 cup Corn Bread-Pecan Stuffing (see recipe below) or your leftover stuffing
12 slices bacon
8 slices sandwich bread
� cup Sage Mayonnaise (see recipe below)
Lettuce leaves
8-12 oz. sliced cooked turkey
� cup Cranberry Sauce (see recipe below)
Recipe
Reheat the Corn Bread-Pecan Stuffing, cook the bacon, and grill or toast the bread. Generously spread each bread slice with about 1 tablespoon of the Sage Mayonnaise. Place a few lettuce leaves on each slice of bread. Assemble each sandwich using � cup stuffing, 2 to 3 ounces turkey, 3 slices bacon, and 1 tablespoon Cranberry Sauce. Makes 4 servings.
Corn Bread-Pecan Stuffing: In a 12-inch skillet, cook � pound bacon, chopped, until crisp. With a slotted spoon remove bacon; set aside. To the bacon drippings in the skillet add 1� cups coarsely chopped celery and 1 cup coarsely chopped onion; cook over medium heat until tender.
In a very large bowl combine bacon, bacon dripping-celery mixture, 4 cups unseasoned corn bread stuffing mix, 12 ounces of pork sausage links (cooked and sliced), � cup cooked diced ham, � cup toasted and coarsely chopped pecans, � cup maple syrup, and � cup snipped fresh sage. Add 1 to 1� cups (or enough to moisten) turkey or chicken stock, tossing lightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Place in a buttered 2-quart casserole dish; cover and bake in a 325� oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until heated through. If you desire a crisp topping, uncover the last 5 minutes of baking. Makes about 7 cups. If leftovers are desired, make a double batch.
Sage Mayonnaise: In a food processor or blender combine � cup refrigerated egg product, 1 tablespoon vinegar, � teaspoon dry mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper. Cover and process or blend for 5 seconds. With the processor or blender running, add 1 cup salad oil in a thin, steady stream. (When necessary, stop and scrape down the sides of the processor bowl or blender container.) Stir in 1 tablespoon snipped fresh sage. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Makes about 11/3 cups.
For a shortcut, mix 1� to 3 teaspoons snipped fresh sage into � cup of purchased mayonnaise.
Cranberry Sauce: Combine 12 ounces cranberries, 1/3 cup dry white wine, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1� teaspoons finely shredded orange peel in a medium saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, over medium-high heat about 3 minutes or until cranberries just begin to pop, stirring occasionally. Cool; cover and refrigerate. Makes 2 cups.
