Old Fashioned Oyster Stuffing

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup celery (chopped)
• 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
• 1 bay leaf
• salt and pepper

• 1 Tbsp. parsley (chopped)
• 6 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1 3/4 cups milk and the liquid from the oysters
• 1 large apple (pared, cored, grated or diced very fine)

Directions

Cook celery and onions in butter until tender, but not brown. Add crumbs, oysters, bay leaf, seasonings and eggs. Add enough liquid to moisten; you don't want the mixture dry, but it must not be too moist. This makes enough for a 10-12 lb. turkey, but don't pack it in tightly or the bird will split open.
