You don&#8217;t have to be a seafood lover or live on the ocean to enjoy it! I&#8217;ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who tell me that they love oyster stuffing, even though they hate oysters. This riff on a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/thanksgiving-stuffing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/thanksgiving-stuffing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">stuffing recipe<\/a> doesn&#8217;t taste fishy or seafoody at all. Instead, the oysters create a delicate, briny and tangy flavor that melds perfectly with buttery, seasoned bread cubes.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh oysters are the best choice for making oyster dressing. They have a much fresher flavor and softer texture than canned oysters. If you want to avoid shucking oysters at home, look for pints of pre-shucked oysters in the refrigerated section near the seafood counter. These oysters are still raw, so they&#8217;re an easy alternative to shelled oysters.<\/p>\n<h2>Oyster Dressing Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oysters:<\/strong> The finer you chop the oysters, the less noticeable they&#8217;ll be. Finely chopped oysters practically melt into the dressing, so picky eaters may not even know they&#8217;re in there. For oyster lovers, make the texture more noticeable by leaving small oysters whole or coarsely chopping larger oysters into bite-sized pieces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bread:<\/strong> Cut down on prep time by buying a bag of stuffing cubes or cubed day-old bread. If you don&#8217;t mind cutting the bread yourself, use white bread like French or Italian bread. If needed, you can dry out fresh bread by baking the cubes in a 325\u00b0F oven for about 10 minutes or until the bread is dried but not yet toasted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celery and onion:<\/strong> Aromatic vegetables are classic additions to stuffing and dressing recipes. The mild flavor complements the oyster&#8217;s briny character.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Butter infuses flavor into the vegetables and gives the dressing a buttery quality. It also helps the bread crisp up for a perfect golden-brown finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> Eggs add richness to dressing recipes. Omit it if you prefer egg-free dressing, but add an extra splash of butter or broth to compensate for the loss of moisture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken broth:<\/strong> Broth moistens the bread cubes and allows them to soak in the flavors in the dressing. If you&#8217;re serving the dressing for Thanksgiving, feel free to substitute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">turkey stock<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs and spices:<\/strong> Parsley and rubbed sage add a fresh, herbaceous quality, while poultry seasoning and pepper enhance the dressing&#8217;s savory character.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Saute the vegetables<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2113532 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oyster-Dressing_TOHcom25_41277_MD_P2_01_17_2b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chopped onions, celery, and parsley in a metal mixing bowl with seasonings, being stirred by a gray spatula.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small skillet, saute the celery and onion in butter until tender.

Canned oysters are smoked or boiled before they&#8217;re packed into the cans, so they have a denser texture and a more concentrated salty flavor. When baked into stuffing, they&#8217;re dryer and taste less appetizing than raw oysters.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between stuffing and dressing?<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/stuffing-vs-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/stuffing-vs-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">stuffing vs. dressing<\/a>, both terms essentially describe the same dish, although the cooking method differs. Both dishes use the same general ingredients, including bread, herbs and aromatic vegetables bound together with broth (and sometimes an egg). Stuffing and dressing recipes can contain meat like oysters or sausage. However, stuffing is generally stuffed inside something\u2014like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-stuffed-turkey\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-stuffed-turkey\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">stuffed turkey<\/a>\u2014and dressing is cooked on its own in a casserole dish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oyster dressing isn&#8217;t just for oyster lovers!
