1

One to two days in advance, prepare one pan of cornbread following the box directions. Let it sit out overnight to form a firm, almost hard crust.
2

Place sausage in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Crumble it, drain, and set aside.
3

In a skillet, cook the onion and celery in butter until soft. Remove from heat and let cool.
4

In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, sausage, onions, and celery. Add sage, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then mix well.
5

Add chicken or vegetable broth to the stuffing mixture in 1/4 cup increments, tossing gently until evenly moist.
6

Loosely stuff into a fowl or transfer to a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until heated to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
