CRANBERRY-HAZELNUT & OYSTER STUFFING
A delicious change from that ordinary onion and celery stuffing at Thanksgiving. I give times for baking in a pan, but may be used to stuff the turkey. This is another recipe from the Chamber of Commerce Cranberry cookbook, from the Washington Coast. Sub fresh sage leaves for the thyme, if desired.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
- Toast the Hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
- Use Fresh Cranberries: Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this stuffing. They have a tart flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
- Don't Overcook the Oysters: Oysters are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them until they are just opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a Good Quality Bread: The bread you use for the stuffing is important. A good quality bread will absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and hold its shape when baked.
- Moisten the Stuffing: The stuffing should be moist, but not soggy. If it's too dry, add a little more chicken broth or water. If it's too wet, add a little more bread crumbs.
- Bake the Stuffing: Bake the stuffing at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until it is heated through and golden brown on top.
Conclusion:
This cranberry-hazelnut-oyster stuffing is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The combination of cranberries, hazelnuts, and oysters is unique and flavorful, and the stuffing is sure to be a hit with your guests.
