Oyster Stuffing for Turkey
Approximately half of Americans choose to fill their roasted birds with stuffing or dressing. In Hospitality, from 1922, you can find numerous suggestions for a Thanksgiving table. This timeless stuffing recipe marries the comforting flavors of buttery breadcrumbs and fresh herbs with the luxurious richness of plump oysters. We don’t often see oysters included on the Thanksgiving table, but they add a special brininess to the traditional turkey stuffing.
- 1 quart bread-crumbs
- 2 teaspoonfuls salt
- 1 tablespoonful chopped parsley
- 1 pint oysters
- ½ teaspoonful pepper
- 1 tablespoonful butter
Mix all well together, and stuff the turkey with this. If the turkey is large the ingredients can be increased to suit. Drain the juice from the oysters before measuring.
