Tip of the Week

Stuffing needs room to expand during cooking, do not over-stuff. Extra stuffing can be placed in a casserole dish and cooked separately.

Don`t stuff the turkey in advance to save time, stuff it right before cooking.

Cook stuffing to a minimum temperature of 165°F. Stuffing should be removed from the turkey to a separate dish before carving.


Oyster Stuffing

1 cup butter
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
5 cups prepared cubed stuffing mix
salt and pepper to taste
1 pint oysters, liquor reserved
1 cup half and half

Melt butter and saute celery and onions until tender.
Combine stuffing mix, salt, pepper and oysters in a bowl and mix well. Add the oyster liquor then slowly add enough half and half to make the stuffing moist. Place in turkey cavity and roast turkey as usual.
