Can I add oysters to this? If so, how would I do it?
I have never added oyster to this stuffing but i believe that you could. Drain and chop a can of mushrooms or buy a can of pre chopped. Add to the ingredients in the pot and cook following the directions. If you want a little more of the flavor, reserve the juice and add a little to the stuffing.
