MAMA'S CORNBREAD DRESSING

Note: This is not my mama's recipe. My mother never made cornbread dressing. Her Southern Indiana recipe used bread only. This is a recipe I found years ago while searching the internet.

2 cups chopped onions

2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup butter
4 cups finely crumbled toasted bread
4 cups finely crumbled cornbread
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried sage
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
turkey broth
4 large eggs, beaten

Melt butter in a skillet; add the onions and celery and saute until tender.
Combine toasted bread and cornbread in a large bowl and mix.
Add onions and celery plus their cooking liquid, and salt, pepper, dried sage, and poultry seasoning and mix thoroughly.
Using a bulb baster, add just enough turkey giblet broth to make a very moist mixture, then stir in the eggs and scrape dressing into a large greased baking pan or dish.
Bake in 400 degree F oven until dressing is nicely browned, about 30 to 40 minutes.
