Note
This stuffing is ideal for filling a 10 to 15 lb turkey.
For best results, ensure the oysters are cooked just until they curl to avoid overcooking and becoming rubbery.
You can adjust the salt to taste, keeping in mind that oyster liquor is naturally salty.
Leftover stuffing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
