New England Oyster Stuffing
This traditional East Coast stuffing is a favorite from the Georgia coast to the docks of Maine, though New England is often cited as the origin of the recipe. It's said that the oysters create a moister stuffing, but we love that it's one more way to highlight the delicious flavor of oysters during their prime season.
