Here are a few alternatives:Roast Turkey with Oyster DressingFor this recipe you need a turkey of up to fourteen pounds, salt, pepper, vegetable oil, a cup of butter, twelve cups of fresh bread crumbs, one and a half cup of chopped celery with leaves, ¾ cup of chopped onions, half a teaspoon of dried leaf thyme, and up to one teaspoon of poultry seasoning. First, prepare the turkey, preheat the oven to 325 degrees, brush the turkey with vegetable oil all over it, insert the thermometer without touching the bone, and place the turkey on a rack, breast side up. The turkey roasting period should be between three hours and half and four hours and fifteen minutes.The oyster dressing should be prepared with up to one hour and half before serving. Chop the drain oysters, and set them aside. Melt the butter in a large saucepan, cook the onions for five minutes, and remove it from heat. Stir in half a cup of oyster liquor along with the reserved oysters. Also stir in the chopped celery, one teaspoon of pepper, the herbs, the twelve cups of bread crumbs, and two teaspoons and half of salt. The mixture must be placed in a baking pan, covered with foil, and baked in the oven along with the turkey for up to one hour. After one hour, remove the foil and bake it until is nicely browned, for almost twenty minutes.
