Thanksgiving Tradition Oyster Dressing Recipe

Oyster Stuffing Recipe

This recipe serves 8 people and is a flavorful combination of fresh oysters, celery, and herbs. It's perfect for a festive occasion like Thanksgiving or any family gathering.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• cup chopped onion
• 12 cups fresh bread cubes
• 1 pints fresh oysters, coarsely chopped, with liquor reserved
• 1 cups chopped celery with leaves
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• teaspoon thyme leaves
• teaspoon poultry seasoning

Directions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2: In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from heat.

Step 3: To the onions, add the bread cubes, oysters (with reserved liquor), celery, salt, black pepper, thyme, and poultry seasoning. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 4: Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 5: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. After that, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.

Cook's Note

For best results, coarsely chop the oysters and reserve their liquor. A quick pulse in a blender can help achieve a good texture. If youre preparing this stuffing for Thanksgiving, you can bake it in the same oven as the turkey.
