Looking for a twist on the traditional cornbread dressing served with turkey? The onions and peppers give this cornbread moistness, and the cast-iron skillet lends a crunchy crust. The caramelized onions and fresh sage leaves make a spectacular presentation when the bread is turned out of the skillet.
