Place the legs and wings (jointed) on a gridiron. Broil slowly. Have
ready a sauce made of--
1 tablespoonful pepper vinegar.
1 tablespoonful made mustard.
1 tablespoonful celery sauce.
1 tablespoonful acid fruit jelly.
A little salt and pepper.
Lay the broiled turkey on a hot dish. Pour the dressing and sift
pounded cracker over it.--_Mrs. S. T._
POTATO STUFFING FOR TURKEYS AND OTHER FOWLS.
Mash smoothly six good-sized boiled Irish potatoes. Chop a small onion
very fine and fry a light brown, in a frying-pan, with a
dessertspoonful lard. Then add the potatoes with salt and pepper, and
a lump of butter as large as a walnut. To this add one well beaten
egg, stirring till perfectly dry. If for geese or ducks, add a little
sifted sage and a small quantity of red pepper.--_Mrs. McG._
BONED TURKEY.
The turkey must be full grown, moderately fat, and picked dry. Do not
remove the entrails. Cut off the neck about one inch from the body.
Take off the wings above the second joint and cut off the legs as
usual. With a sharp pointed knife, split the skin from the end of the
neck to the rump. Run the knife between the bones and flesh on one
side, till you come to where the wing and leg join the body. Twist
the wing and raise it, cracking the joint. Separate it from the body.
Then proceed with the leg in the same way, on the same side. Run the
knife between the bones and flesh till you reach the breast bone.
Repeat this on the other side. Take out the craw. Carefully run a
sharp knife under the rump, detaching it from the bone without cutting
the skin, as it must come off with the flesh. Hold the turkey by the
neck and pull the skin carefully down, until the upper part of the
breast bone is uncovered. Cut the flesh from the bone on both sides,
till the end of the bone is nearly reached. The turkey must now be
laid on the back and held by the neck, the front of the turkey being
toward you. Take hold of the skin of the neck with the left hand,
pulling downwards with a knife in the right hand, separate the skin
from the end of the bone. The whole of the turkey is now detached from
the carcass. Lay it on a table with the skin down. Pull the bones from
the wings and legs, first running the knife around so as to leave the
flesh. Pull out all the tendons of the legs. Push them and the wings
inside. Cut off the ring under the rump. All this must be done slowly
and carefully. Have ready a half-dozen slices of salt pork, and a
salad made of shoat, veal or lamb, chopped and seasoned, as turkey
salad, with celery, etc. Mix with this salad three or four large Irish
potatoes, boiled and mashed, with a spoonful of butter. Now lay the
turkey on the table, inside up and the neck from you; pepper and salt
it; lay three or four slices of pork on it, then a layer of the salad;
pork again and salad alternately until filled; draw the two sides
together and sew it up, giving it as near as possible its proper
shape.
