THE CHRISTMAS TURKEY.
How to Prepare 1t for the Gastronomio
Fete.
Turkey boiled is turkey spoiled,
Turkey roast is turkey lost.

-
Turkey roast is turkey lost.
But for turkey praised the Lord be praised"
TIL re may be divers opinions regard
ing the two first lines, but in regard to
the third there will be no dissentient
voice when once il has been tried. Fill
the turkey with the best force-meat
you can make, The most elegant is
made of sweetbreads and mushrooms,
or trufies interInixcd. but an ordinary
bread or chestnut stufiing, made savory
with seasonihgs, will be very nice.
After stuffing hold the bird breast down
over a bright fire to stiffen it, and then
lard with strips Of salt pork. Place in
large saucepan, breast upward, with
sliced carrot, onion, celery, and parsley,
and cover with broth. Cook closely
covered in the oven until the bird is
tender, basting it occasionally to give
the desired light brown color. When
done, strain and thicken the gravy and
serve in boat. For an elegant com
pany dish garnish with stoned olives,
small force-meat balls made of chicken,
mushrooms, and sweetbreads cut in
dice.
