    Heat 1 cup (250 ml) butter in same skillet. Add onion, celery and green pepper.  Cook gently 3 minutes, stirring.  Add more. Add half of bread crumbs and cook and cook and stir until bread is lightly browned.

    Put remaining read in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, parsley, sage, rosemary and marjoram. Add hot bread-vegetable mixture, lemon juice and the 2 tbsp (30 ml) oyster liquid you set aside. Toss all together lightly.

    Stuff neck end of turkey lightly with some of bread mixture. Skewer opening closed. Put a handful of bread mixture into breast of turkey then add a few of the oysters. Add another handful of bread mixture and more oyster, continuing until turkey is loosely stuffed. Skewer opening closed and tie wings and legs of bird close to body.

    Heat oven to 325 degrees (F) 160 degrees (C) . Set turkey on rack in roasting pan and brush all over with melted butter. Cover with a loose tent of aluminum foil. Roast about 5 hours or until drumstick moves easily. Uncover for last hour so turkey browns well. Baste occasionally.
