Corn Bread
Mix Corn bread per instructions, bake as instructed. Set aside until broth and hens are ready.
Cornish Hens
Wash Cornish hens in cold water.
Place hens in a large pot and add 3 cups of cold water, chicken broth, bay leaves, 2 tablespoons of accent, 1 tablespoon garlic salt, the minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Bring to a complete boil and then reduce heat to medium. Cook 45 minutes to 1 hour or until done. If needed, add 1/2 cup of water to prevent from sticking. It is important to check broth levels as you will use the broth to add moisture to the dressing mixture.
Sausage or Turkey
While hens are cooking, brown the sausage (if you do not want to use pork sausage, ground turkey sausage can be used). Place in a large bowl until broth is ready.
Rice
Follow instructions on the box for the rice and cook as directed. Add the rice to the sausage in a large bowl.
Dressing
In a large bowl add corn bread, sausage and rice then slowly add broth mix from cooked Cornish hens. Add enough broth until the mixture is moist (almost like corn bread mix, but not as juicy).
After the mix is ready, add the chopped bell pepper, chopped onions and sage. Do a taste test. If needed add more accent and possibly a little garlic salt.
Putting It All Together
Spread the mixture in a large oven pan.
Place the hens on the top and sprinkle with parsley and paprika as garnishments.
Baked on 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes until the bread mixture browns.
enjoy !!
