MOM'S OYSTER DRESSING/STUFFING



Mom's Oyster Dressing/Stuffing image

The best thing about a stuffed turkey is the oyster dressing. My grandma (Gigi) and mom would argue every year as to whether it was better made with cornbread cubes or regular bread. I prefer regular bread, but you decide for yourself.

MOM'S OYSTER CASSEROLE



Mom's Oyster Casserole image

My mother has made this casserole every thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. It just wouldn't be the holidays without it. If my brother can't make it home for the holidays, it is one of his special requests when he is able to get home. The prep time is me using a food processor to chop and doesn't include the time to cut oysters in half if they are too large. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

LUCY BUFFETT'S OYSTER DRESSING



Lucy Buffett's Oyster Dressing image

Lucy Buffett and her famous brother, Jimmy, grew up in Mobile, Ala., where seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is a key player in the culinary canon. Mr. Buffett went on to a giant career in music. His sister Lucy opened the freewheeling LuLu's restaurant in Gulf Shores, Ala. When they were children, oyster stuffing was always on the Thanksgiving table. And it still is. "Usually, it's all gone by the end of the day because the kids go back for thirds and fourths, just digging directly into the pan," she said. Ms. Buffett likes to use cornbread with a little sugar in it, often relying on a box mix. But any cornbread recipe will do. The best bread is an inexpensive white loaf from the grocery store that will break down into a smooth texture. The oysters don't have to be from the Gulf of Mexico, but fat Gulf oysters are best for conjuring the brackish low tides and sunsets of the Buffett family youth.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 tablespoons/1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, divided, plus more for baking dish
1 (8-inch-square) baked and cooled cornbread, preferably on the sweet side
15 slices white or wheat bread, toasted and cooled
1/2 large white onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1/2 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth, plus more as needed
2 dozen freshly shucked or jarred oysters, preferably Gulf oysters, drained and coarsely chopped (reserve the oyster liquor)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Crystal
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped, or 1 teaspoon ground sage
1 1/2 teaspoons truffle salt or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Tips:

  • Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for stuffing. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the oysters finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the stuffing. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to chop the oysters.
  • Use a variety of bread. Using a variety of bread will give the stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. You can use white bread, cornbread, or even sourdough bread.
  • Season the stuffing well. Be sure to season the stuffing with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add diced celery, onion, or carrots for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the stuffing. Overcooking the stuffing will make it dry and tough. Cook the stuffing until it is just heated through, about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Oyster dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a stuffing for poultry or fish, a casserole, or a filling for patty shells. It is a great way to use up leftover oysters and is a perfect dish for special occasions. With its briny, sweet flavor and creamy texture, oyster dressing is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
