- 3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Spoon the shortening into an 8-inch cast-iron skillet, ensuring an even coating.

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and allow the shortening to melt and become hot for about 4 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Add 2 eggs and buttermilk to the dry ingredients, stirring vigorously until a smooth batter forms.

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, and pour the batter into it. Spread the batter evenly in the skillet.
-
Return the skillet to the oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once baked, allow the cornbread to cool slightly, then crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
-
To the crumbled cornbread, add the finely chopped celery, onions, fresh parsley, poultry seasoning, white pepper, rubbed sage, melted butter, bread cubes, and beaten eggs.
-
Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the bread cubes are evenly coated with the seasoned mixture.
-
Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish, and spoon the dressing mixture into it, spreading it out evenly.

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
