Thanksgiving Tip:
To make meatless stuffing that’s suitable for vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and use vegetarian chorizo sausage in place of regular chorizo. If vegetarian chorizo is unavailable, use a traditional meatless sausage (from a tube) and add a tablespoon of chopped chipotle peppers, 1 tsp. oregano and 1/2 tsp. cumin to the sausage. Sauté in olive oil to create lightly browned crumbles.
Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes plus time to bake cornbread and refrigeration time
Serves: 8 to 10

10 c. cubed cornbread*
5 c. organic chicken broth 
1 c. organic half & half
3 Henry's Market Large Organic Eggs
1 1/2 lbs. Henry's Market Handcrafted Chorizo Sausage
1/2 stick Henry's Market Unsalted Butter
2 yellow onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 Tbsp. jalapeño, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 small zucchini, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 c. Henry's Market Supersweet Organic Corn, thawed
1 (4 oz.) can green chiles or 1/2 c. freshly roasted and chopped green chiles
1 tsp. rubbed sage
1 tsp. red chile powder
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Whisk together chicken broth, cream and eggs in a large bowl. Add cornbread and gently toss to coat; set aside. Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Remove chorizo from its casing. Place in pan and cook until browned, breaking larger pieces into small, bite-sized crumbles using a spatula; set aside on a paper towel to drain. Add butter to the same pan and sauté onion, jalapeno and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes. Add zucchini, corn, green chiles and spices. Cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Gently toss vegetables and sausage with the cornbread. Place in a buttered 9x13 baking dish, adding more chicken stock if the dressing seems too dry. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, and up to 3 hours, before baking. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, until golden.
