Spread bread on a large baking sheet and bake until dry to the touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a large bowl. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks, fennel and squash; cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add parsley and thyme and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Scrape the mixture on top of the bread. Melt butter in the pan, scraping up any browned bits, then scrape onto the bread. Add broth to taste, oysters and pepper to the bread mixture and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spray one side of a piece of foil with cooking spray and cover the stuffing, sprayed-side down. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Tips Make Ahead Tip: Toast the bread and store, uncovered at room temperature, for up to 2 days. Look for preshucked oysters by the pound at the seafood counter or packed in plastic containers in the seafood department of most supermarkets. One 8-ounce container yields a scant 1 cup of drained shucked oysters.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
