Steps:
- Put the oysters in a strainer over a medium bowl to catch their liquor. Reserve 3/4 cup of the oyster liquor. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread and oysters.
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the bacon and cook for 1 minute. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Melt 1/2 cup of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the foaming subsides, add the bacon, shallot, celery, salt, and season with pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the parsley, thyme, reserved oyster liquor, and vermouth and bring to a boil. Transfer the shallot-herb mixture to the cornbread and oysters and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Transfer the cornbread mixture to a buttered 1-quart gratin dish, dot with the remaining butter, and bake until browned and crusty, about 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
- Butter a 3 1/4 x 5 3/4 x 2-inch loaf pan. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and combine with the milk. Pour the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and mix lightly with a rubber spatula until a thick batter is formed. Stir in the melted butter until just incorporated.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Yield: 1 small loaf of cornbread
OYSTER STUFFING FOR TURKEY
This dressing is a tradition with our family. Thanksgiving without oyster stuffing is not complete! There is just a hint of something extra, but the oyster taste is not overpowering, so even those who don't care for oysters like this stuffing. It's my "secret ingredient"!

ROAST TURKEY WITH OYSTER STUFFING
I like oysters, but I didn't know I'd like them in stuffing. I like the combination of leeks and oysters. This recipe came from Betty Crocker's Old-Fashioned Cookbook. You can substitute 2-8 ounce cans oysters for the shucked oysters.
