"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."

Milk? This recipe looks great, but I have never seen milk added. Can I add my turkey stock instead?

I am a southerner but always use regular bread or bread cubed - are the amounts of breading the same if not cornbread? Cornbread can soak up alot more fluid because it's dryer. I also have always sauteed my celery, carrots & onions in some bacon grease (I prep my veggies for regular sausage stuffing & oyster stuffing at the same time & divide them in half for both dressing/stuffing). I add an egg to them as well. I use Old Bay also because we use it in everything here. Well, almost.LOL. ????

If you like oyster dressing, you NEED to try recipe! It is wonderful! My wife is from the south, so we used cornbread for hers, and I'm a Chicagoan who grew up eating bread stuffing, so I chose the bread, but I have to confess: I liked the cornbread better! Thank you, Gigi, and thank you, Krsi Sue!!

This is a great stuffing recipe! Never would've thought to put oysters into it before but it gave it a nice taste. This would be a great recipe for the holidays, adding it to my list!

This is a very good recipe for an all time holiday favorite with most of my family (some prefer plain dressing, so I make both). <br/>We like our dressing really moist so I added 1 cup of organic chicken broth and an egg to the mix.<br/>Thank you for posting this!

I just made this last night for Thanksgiving. I'm so pleased that I did! What attracted me to this recipe was the ease of making it (the recipe that I have is more difficult and not as tasty.) <br/><br/>I took the cornbread route (hey, I'm a southerner.) I noted that it used all the cornbread from my cast iron skillet, so that's easy to remember. I used a pint of fresh Apalachicola oysters (yum) and threw in some fresh mushrooms. Soooo good!!<br/><br/>The only thing I'll do differently next time is cut back on the salt. This is not the fault of the recipe: I bake my cornbread in bacon fat, so it's got a bit of saltiness already.<br/><br/>Thank you for posting this excellent recipe!

I absolutely LOVE this recipe!!! I made this a few years ago for Thanksgiving and decided to make it again this year. It's so simple to make and has so much flavor! I made it exactly as the recipe states. This one is a keeper for sure!
