Can you elaborate on your Oyster dressing? We're heading to SIL's house & bringing sides. A nice cornbread dressing is certainly something to consider.

Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages corn bread mix
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup diced celery
2 (8 ounce) cans oysters, liquid reserved

2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
1-2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth


Directions:
1. Prepare the corn bread according to package directions. Allow bread to cool, then crumble into a large bowl.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.

3. Over medium-low heat melt butter in a large saucepan. Mix in the onions. garlic and parsley. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until onions are soft. Add oysters and saute until edges curl. Transfer to the bowl with bread crumbs.

4. Fold eggs, pepper, poultry seasoning, sage, chicken broth and reserved oyster liquid into the corn bread mixture. Transfer to the baking dish.

5. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 45 minutes.

6. Remove from oven, serve and slap yo mama it's so good!

HOT Dam, that sounds good. So good it could be a stand alone meal in my opinion.

Hope your bird in the Egg turns out well, not that I have any doubts. I cooked a turkey breast in my egg last night, and had a wonderful leftover turkey samich not more than 20 minutes ago. Good stuff!

Are you using any Dizzy Pig rubs?

Thanks for the quick reply

David

The Dizzy Pig Rub is good, but I make my own infused butter mixture and rub the critter down.

A favorite of mine and anyone I've tried it on:


Artichoke-Parmesan Sourdough Dressing
Source: Sunset Magazine, November 1998, pp 132-134

1 loaf (1 pound) sourdough bread, cut into 1/2- inch cubes
1 pound mushrooms, rinsed
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 onions (about 3/4 pound total), peeled and chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth
2 jars (6 ounce each) marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves or
3/4 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
salt
pepper
1 large egg


Spread bread cubes in a single layer in 2 pans, each 10 by 15 inches. Bake in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until toasted golden brown about 25 minutes. Turn cubes over with a wide spatula occasionally. After 15 minutes, switch pan positions.

Trim and discard discolored mushroom stem ends. Slice mushrooms.

In a 10 to 12 inch frying pan over high heat, combine butter, mushrooms, onions, celery and garlic. Stir often until vegetables are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Pour into a large bowl. Add a little broth to pan and stir to scrape browned bits free. Add to bowl.

Pour 2 cups broth into bowl and add toasted bread, artichoke hearts, cheese, poultry seasoning, and rosemary; mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make a well in dressing, add egg, beat with a fork to blend, then mix egg with dressing.

Spoon into a shallow 3-quart (9 by 13 inch) casserole. For moist dressing, cover with foil; for crusty dressing, do not cover. Bake in a 325 to 350 degree F oven (use temperature turkey requires) until hot (at least 150 degrees F in center) or lightly browned, about 50 minutes.

Yield: 10 cups

The easiest thing in the world to make is fresh cranberry sauce/relish. I have no idea why anyone would buy the canned red snot stuff.

1 c. water
1 c. granulated sugar
3 c. fresh cranberries

In a saucepan, combine water and sugar, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring to boil; add cranberries, reduce heat to medium low. Cook until skins pop. To gel sauce, cool completely at room temperature, refrigerate until firm. Makes 2 1/4 cups.

If you have someone that is squeamish about the skins, run the liquid through a strainer before cooling. You will have to sort of 'force' it through with the bottom of a ladle, but it will take care of the skins.
