Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 13x9-inch pan.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Mix well.
3. Whisk together 5 eggs, melted butter, and buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and a toothpick comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
5. For the stuffing, combine 2 tablespoons salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, oregano, thyme, basil, and bay leaves in a small bowl. Set aside.
6. In another bowl, combine minced onions, green onions, parsley, red peppers, chili peppers, and garlic.
7. Melt 1 cup butter in a large frying pan. Add the spice mix and cook for a few minutes. Add the vegetable mixture; cook and stir for about 5 minutes without browning. Add stock and hot pepper sauce; stir and cook for 5 more minutes. Crumble cornbread into the skillet and mix; remove from heat.
8. Whisk 7 eggs and evaporated milk together; pour into the stuffing mixture. Return to low heat and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Place stuffing in a bowl; cool before stuffing turkey.
