Yields 4 servings
4 cups crumbled day-old Sweet Honey Cornbread
1 Italian sausage (4 ounces)
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup chicken broth

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 9-by-9-inch baking dish; set aside.
In large bowl, place cornbread.

Drain all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Return skillet to medium-high heat, and stir in green bell pepper, minced onion and chopped celery. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

In small bowl, combine chicken broth and honey. Pour over stuffing.
