Complement your holiday turkey or chicken with this hearty Tex-Mex side dish. The base is stale cornbread, whose slight sweetness is perfectly balanced by zesty green chiles and spicy Mexican chorizo. Despite its name, the stuffing is baked separately from the turkey. You can even assemble it ahead of time, refrigerate it, and bake it just before serving to avoid fuss on holiday.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 175°C.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.

Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the sage and rosemary and cook for another 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
Combine the cornbread, chili peppers, and meat mixture in a large bowl. Add 3 cups of chicken broth and mix with your hands until the bread is very moist, adding up to 1 cup more broth if necessary. Season with salt to taste.
Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and bake until the filling is heated through and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
