1
Lightly oil two jumbo muffin pans, and set aside.
2
Preheat oven to 350F.

Dice the cornbread, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.

Set in oven, and toast until nicely dried, but not too crisp, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven, and allow to cool.
6
In a heavy, non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until it is very hot, but does not smoke.
7
Saute the mushrooms until beautifully coloured, turning frequently.
8
Season generously with sea salt, black pepper and sage.
9
Stir in the veal stock and shredded turkey meat; blend thoroughly.
10
Stir in the onion, shallots, celery and bell pepper, blend thoroughly.
11
If the mixture seems too dry, add more veal stock.
12
Taste for seasoning, and add more sea salt, black pepper and/or sage as desired.
13
Transfer to large platter lined with paper towelling, and allow to drain.
14
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted, diced cornbread with the beaten eggs.

Toss thoroughly to blend.
16
Stir in the sauteed turkey/mushrooms/vegetables; blend thoroughly.

This is delicious with a nice, pale lager, such as Craftsman 1903 or Shorts' Cerveza de Julie.

If you prefer wine, a very good Chardonnay, such as Stag's Leap Karia, will be fantastic.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
