Steps:

• To make the cornbread, heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat oil in 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan in oven until very hot. Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in bowl. Stir in beaten eggs and milk; then pour hot oil into batter, and mix. Pour into pan, and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.
• To make the dressing, reduce oven temperature to 350. Crumble cornbread. Sauté onion and celery in 12 tablespoons butter and the olive oil until soft. In a bowl, mix with cornbread, sage, salt and pepper, and place in a 9-by-12-inch glass baking dish.
• Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter, and drizzle over cornbread. Spoon turkey stock over cornbread. (Dish can be prepared a day or two in advance up to this point. Refrigerate, then bring to room temperature before baking.) Cover with foil, and bake 20 minutes; remove foil, and bake another 10 minutes, until brown. If dressing seems too dry, drizzle with more stock and butter.
