Instructions
1. To make cornbread, preheat oven to 450. Place 2 tbs of the oil in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and place in oven for about 5 minutes.
2. In a mixing bowl, sift together cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir in buttermilk, egg, green onion, and remaining 2 tbs oil. Stir until just mixed; do not overmix.
3. Pour butter into heated skillet. It will sizzle. Return skillet to oven and reduce heat to 400. Bake until bread has pulled away from the edges and is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Cut cornbread into 1/2-inch dice to measure 7 cups; set aside. Reserve remainig cornbread for another use.
4. Preheat oven to 325. In a large skillet, saute leeks in 2 tbs of the butter until soft. Add oysters and saute until they just begin to plump, about 1 minutes. Remove leeks and oysters from skillet and set aside. In same pan, saute mushrooms in remaining 4 tbs butter over high heat until golden brown. In a large mixing bowl, combine leeks, oysters, and mushrooms with all remaining ingredients, including reserved 7 cups corn bread, and toss to combine. Mixture should be moist but loose.
5. Place in an ovenproof casserole and bake in oven, covered, until the edges are lightly browned and slightly crisp, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove cover for the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking. Makes enough to stuff an 18- to 22-pound turkey, if desired.
