4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
1 whole Large Onion, Diced
3 whole Large Stalks Celery, Diced
1 pound Ground Turkey
2 cloves Garlic, Minced (large Cloves)
1 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Sage
2 teaspoons Minced Fresh Thyme
1 pinch Fresh Grated Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
1/4 teaspoons Fennel Seed
6 whole Cornbread Muffins (store-bought Or Homemade)
2 whole Large Eggs, Beaten
1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Stock

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F; grease an 8- by 8-inch casserole dish with 1/2 tablespoon butter.
2
Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onion and celery and cook until veggies are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes. Add the turkey and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, sage, thyme, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and fennel seed, and cook 3 minutes more, stirring frequently. Turn off heat and cool slightly.
3
Crumble the muffins into a large bowl; stir in the turkey mixture and then the eggs. Stir in the chicken stock a little at a time, and then spread the stuffing into the prepared dish. Dot the top with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Bake until the top and sides are light golden, about 30 minutes.
