add cooked wild rice
add Trinity that has been sauteed in butter
add turkey neck meat that has been simmered in water, onion, celery
use stock from above to moisten
add poultry seasoning, salt and pepper to taste
put in casserole dish and heat it up when ready
serve with good ol' turkey pan gravy (no giblets for me)

me too - I want a really good oyster dressing recipe. as much as I love it, I've never tried making it, and I've only had it a few times (made by the ex cajun sis-in-law - outstanding stuff)...

I also make three day salad...mandarian oranges, crushed pineapple, minimarshmallows, coconut and sour cream all smushed together. You make it three days ahead and stir it up once a day!

My daddy makes the very best oyster dressing. I will see if I can get the recipe from him and post it.

Here is my cornbread dressing recipe.

Make a pan of buttermilk cornbread.

When done, crumble in bowl. Saute' onions in real butter just until translucent. Put in bowl with cornbread. Pour in canned chicken broth (not the fat free kind) until cornbread is very moist. I season with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning to taste. Place in baking pan and cook until brown on top. I don't measure anything, I just do it by looks and taste as my grandma taught me. I don't like celery or green peppers, so I don't use them.

I am so freaking hungry!!!!!!

...that's a problem. I think it is like a cup of each. I'll find out from my sis and let you know.

I need a nap...with all this cooking and the sweeping and mopping this morning!

Oyster Dressing

1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
2 or 3 toes of garlic, minced
1/2 stick butter
3 quarts french bread, torn into small pieces
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 dozen oysters, chopped, plus liquid
1 cup chicken stock (homemade is better, but Swanson's organic low sodium will work if you prefer store-bought)

Saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Add garlic and cook for a minute more. Over heat, add bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, about 1/2 oyster liquid, and chicken stock. Cook until thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in oysters and eggs. Pour into a buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, sprinkle the top with creole seasoning, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
