Ingredients

1 cup butter
0.75 cup chopped onion
12 cups fresh bread cubes
1.5 pints fresh oysters, coarsely chopped and liquor reserved
1.5 cups chopped celery with leaves
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.5 teaspoon thyme leaves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan for easy baking.
Melt butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine bread crumbs, oysters, oyster liquor, celery, salt, black pepper, thyme, and poultry seasoning with the onion. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking pan and cover securely with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking until golden brown, about 20 minutes more.
