Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Oyster Dressing.
Step 1
Start by melting butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, toss in the chopped celery and sauté it until it becomes tender, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
As the celery softens, stir in the dried sage and poultry seasoning, then take the skillet off the heat to let those flavors mingle.
Step 4
Next, grab a large saucepan and pour in the chicken broth along with some water.
Step 5
Heat it over medium until it starts to simmer, then add in the margarine, stirring until it melts completely and blends into the broth.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to introduce the dry cornbread stuffing mix.
Step 7
Gradually sprinkle it into the broth mixture, stirring gently to ensure the stuffing absorbs all that delicious liquid.
Step 8
Use a fork to fluff it up a bit, making it light and airy.
Step 9
To enhance the moisture, mix in about half a cup of the reserved oyster liquid, adjusting it to your preferred consistency.
Step 10
Now, gently fold in the sautéed celery mixture, along with the oysters and a dash of ground black pepper for that extra kick.
Step 11
Finally, let the dressing cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, allowing all those wonderful flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare this comforting dish!.
