Bake cornbread according to package directions. Cool completely; crumble into large bowl. Add bread cubes; set aside. In large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage with sage until meat is no longer pink. Add celery and onion; continue cooking until vegetables are tender and sausage is lightly browned. Add sausage mixture, eggs, and chicken broth to combined breads; toss lightly. For more moist stuffing, add up to 1/4 cup of water. Lightly spoon stuffing into body of turkey. Immediately after stuffing, roast according to standard roasting directions. Mix ingredients in order and put in a 13 X 9" baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for at least 30 minutes.
