- Throw away any chestnuts which feel light for their size; they are apt to be spoiled or possibly molded. Cut an X about 1/2 inch long through flat side of each shell. Place nuts in a 10- by 15-inch pan.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven till nuts are no longer starchy-tasting (cut 1 open to test), 25 to 30 min. Wrap warm nuts in a towel and enclose in a plastic bag; let stand about 15 min. Remove 1 hot nut at a time and use a short-bladed knife to pull off shell and as much brown skin as possible; throw away shell and skin. Coarsely chop or possibly crumble chestnuts.
- Meanwhile, in a 350 degree oven, toast polenta cornbread cubes in a 12- by 17-inch roasting pan, stirring occasionally, till edges begin to brown, 30 to 40 min.
- In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, turn bacon occasionally till browned, 4 to 6 min; lift from pan and drain on towels. When cold, crumble and add in to toasted cornbread.
- To drippings in frying pan, add in onion, celery, and green onions; stir occasionally till limp, 5 to 7 min. Add in sage, thyme, nutmeg, and chestnuts; stir occasionally till vegetables are lightly browned, about 5 min longer. Scrape mix into pan with cornbread.
- Add in poultry broth and minced poultry-broth meats and mix gently; for a moister dressing, add in 1/2 c. chicken broth. Season dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into a shallow 3-qt casserole and cover tightly.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven till warm in the center (about 150 degrees), 35 to 40 min. For a crusty top, uncover dressing for the last 20 to 25 min.
- This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.
- Comments: Bake the polenta cornbread (a variation of the yeast cornbread Luciano makes) or possibly use your favorite cornbread recipe or possibly mix. Instead of roasting the chestnuts, you can use 2 c. peeled cooked chestnuts (canned steamed, water-packed, or possibly vacuum-packed). If making dressing up to 1 day ahead, refrigerateairtight, then bake 50 to 65 min.
