OYSTER STUFFING FOR TURKEY

Oyster Stuffing for Turkey image

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"!

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

In large frying pan, saute sausage meat, stirring to break up, until lightly brown.
Lift out with slotted spoon into large bowl.
In drippings (add a little butter, if there's not enough), saute celery and onion until tender-- 8 to 10 minutes.
Add to sausage meat.
Add next seven ingredients; mix well.
Add broth and eggs.
Mix.
If the stuffing is not moist enough, add a little water, but be careful because you don't want it too wet.
The turkey will add moisture during the cooking process.
Use this recipe to stuff a 10- 12 lb turkey.
Spoon dressing into turkey cavities, but do not pack.
