- 4 c. finely chopped celery
- 2 c. boiling water
- 1/2 c. minced onion
- 3/4 c. butter
- 4 quarts lightly packed day old bread, torn up
- 2 tsp. sage (light)
- 1 tbls. salt
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 pint (1 c.) oysters, drained and finely chopped
| Simmer celery, covered in boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup of the liquid. Cook the minced onion in butter over low heat until tender, not brown. Add oysters and reserved celery water. Do not add dry ingredients until just before stuffing the turkey. Add the bread, sage, salt, and pepper. Stuff in turkey or chicken. Can bake at 350 for 30 to 45 minutes in a buttered dish but it is moister if stuffed in turkey.
