4 Ndryiond Way to Roast Turkey
a lady OF Centreville, Md, writes as
follows 10 the Baltimore Sun: Let
the Eastern Shore put in a word as to
the manner Of cooking the Christmas
turkey. In the first place it should
always be gobbler for roasting. Hen
turkeys are used only for boiling and
in the Spring-certainly not before
February. The turkey should be
killed and hung several days before
it is cooked. 1t should be wiped thor
oughly inside and out and a filling pre-
prepared of soaked loaf bread, pepper
(black), salt and butter, we'll mixed in
a paste, or Of chestnuts finely grounC
and mixed with sufficient egg and flOu1
to give them substance. 1t should
cook from four to five hours. if large
as it ought 10 be, and guarded against
burning. The turkey should be of a
bright brown color when done and the
5 gravy made by thickening the drip
} pings formed while roasting. 1t tshOulC
= always be eaten with cranberry sauce
or currant Jelly and celery. Let epi
cures try this method without fear o
the result"
