CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH OYSTERS

Cornbread Dressing with Oysters image

My father's dressing bakes separately from the turkey and is simply delicious. The secret is to prepare the corn bread first, let it cool and then crumble it to form the base for the rest of the ingredients. My father always added oysters to give the dressing a special flavor. -Nell Bass, Macon, Georgia
