Cooking Instructions


In medium skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add celery, onion, garlic, and jalapeño and sauté until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add oregano and sauté 1 minute more. Transfer vegetables to bowl and set aside.
In large bowl, whisk together corn flour salt, cumin, baking powder, and pepper. In separate large bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. In 3 additions each, alternately beat in corn flour mixture and 2 cups stock, beating after each addition until just combined. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Fold in sautéed vegetables and corn. If baking inside turkey: Use immediately to stuff turkey.
If baking separate: Transfer stuffing to dish and drizzle with 1/2 cup stock. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is slightly crisp and golden, about 10 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
