Oyster Dressing
DO NOT MAKE THIS THE DAY BEFORE!!! Make it just before stuffing the turkey
right before you bake it.
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup butter
6 cups dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
3 cups raw oysters, chopped
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 3/4 cups oyster liquor plus milk, if needed
Cook celery, onion and bay leaf in butter until tender but not brown. Discard
the bay leaf. Add crumbs and parsley to the butter mixture. Add oysters, seasonings
and eggs. Add enough of the liquid mixture to moisten. This will stuff a 10-
to 12-pound turkey.
