This dressing is a tradition with our family. Thanksgiving without oyster stuffing is not complete! There is just a hint of something extra, but the oyster taste is not overpowering, so even those who don't care for oysters like this stuffing. It's my secret ingredient ! Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground sausage (not links) |
1 1/2 cups chopped onions |
2 cups finely chopped celery |
12 cups dried bread, cubes |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 teaspoon rubbed savory |
1 teaspoon dried sage or 1 teaspoon ground sage |
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon ground thyme |
4 ounces cans oysters, drained and finely chopped (freeze remainder for next time!) |
1 can chicken broth |
2 eggs, slightly beaten |
Directions:
1. In large frying pan, saute sausage meat, stirring to break up, until lightly brown.
2. Lift out with slotted spoon into large bowl.
3. In drippings (add a little butter, if there's not enough), saute celery and onion until tender- 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Add to sausage meat.
5. Add next seven ingredients; mix well.
6. Add broth and eggs.
7. Mix.
8. If the stuffing is not moist enough, add a little water, but be careful because you don't want it too wet.
9. The turkey will add moisture during the cooking process.
10. Use this recipe to stuff a 10- 12 lb turkey.
11. Spoon dressing into turkey cavities, but do not pack.
