What each ingredient does
- Oysters
- Provide the main flavour and moisture that give the dressing its savory, briny character.
- Mild poultry dressing
- Forms the bulk of the stuffing and absorbs the oyster juices as it bakes.
The step that matters
Bake until cooked through. Oysters cook quickly and can turn rubbery if overcooked, while the dressing must reach a safe internal temperature to be sound. Checking doneness in the thickest part of the stuffing helps balance both.
