Bring On the Bird

There1l be glad reunions round
many an American THANKSGIVING
Day dinner table this year as
Johnny again rejoins the family
circle. This means there'll be more
dinners in the traditional Thanks
giving Day style, too! OF course,
that calls for turkey and all the
trimmings.
Fortunately. this is the year for
turkey. Turkey raisers have the
biggest crop on record and Govern
ment set asides have been reduced
sharply. For the first time since
the war began, there will be plenty
Of turkeys.
But selecting a fine bird at the
market is only the first step. For
this gala occasion the turkey must
be roasted according to the most
modern approved methods to bring
out all Of its goodness. This means
roasting it breast side down in a
moderately slow oven.
To cooks familiar with the Gu
linary magic of wine, it also means
basting the roasting fowl with a
mixture of melted butter or mar
garine and wine at intervals
throughout the roasting period.
Wine-roasted turkey has deli
cacy Of flavor that sets it apart i'm
mediately as superior. Either red
or white table wine may be used to
achieve these gourmet results. The
warm wine and butter mixture is
dripped over the turkey repeatedly
to make this the juiciest most fla
vorsome turkey ever!
Glasses of the same type of wine
that was used in preparing the tur-
key are ideal for service with it.
Wine goes with food. 1t accents fine
flavor and adds immeasurably to
the enjoyment OF any meal from
the simplest supper to the Thanks
giving Day dinner itself.
| There are no hard and fast rules
governing wine service. 1t is one OF
the easiest of all beverages to serve
Ordinarily white table wines-.in-
cluding Chablis, Hook. Sauterne
and Riesling-are chilled for at
least one hour before serving. REQ
table wines-claret, Burgundy, Cab
ernet and the others-are finest
served at room temperature. The
same kind of glass is correct service
for any wine.

broth and add to 1t a couple of tea
spoons Of curry powder. According
to your taste, more or less may be
used. Season with salt and little
freshly ground black pepper. Put a
mound of steamed fluffy rice on q
hot platter. Lay the pieces of turkey
meat all around it and pour the
very hot curry sauce over all. Pass
separately the usual curry accom-
paniments-ground peanuts, chut-
ney, crisp chopped bacon. chopped
hard-bolled eggs, and so on.
If you have left the legs from the
turkey, why not devil them? Melt a
couple of tablespoons of butter in
frying pan and add to it paprika,
salt, pepper, dash of cayenne, a
tard, a couple of tablespoons of chilli
sauce, a tablespoon Of Worcester
shire sauce. Cook all together for
about 5 minutes. Now take the tur-
key legs and cut gashes in them,
sprinkle them with pepper and salt
and dredge them with flour. Put
them in the frying pan with the
butter and seasonings and cook
them for 10 minutes or SO, until
they are nice and brown. Arrange
them neatly on a hot platter. Add
half a cup of beef stock to the
juices in the pan, cook for minutes
and pour it over the turkey legs.
Serve at once. A good green salad
goes nicely with these.

been sauteed in butter until brown

and very little cheese, a bit of

Serve with a sauce made from a
can of condensed mushroom soup,
well seasoned with cayenne and a

side and outside with clear, cold
water. Rub inside of turkey with
salt-using about 1s teaspoon of salt
for each pound Of turkey.
Prepare dressing as follows: Melt
"a pound of the butter or margarine.
Cook onion in melted butter until
golden brown. Add bread cubes and
mix well. Add celery, parsley, salt,
poultry seasoning or sage. Mix well.
Place enough stufhng in neck to
fill 1t nicely. Fasten skin to back.
Stuff cavity well, but not too tightly.
Close with skewers. Fold wings
back and press the tips against the
back. Press thighs close to body, tie
the ends of legs together with string
and bring the string down around
tailpiece. Turn bird on breast and
bring ends Of string forward over
the wings. Tie in the middle Of
the back. Lay on pan on one side
OF breast. Roast until done at a
low. constant temperature (300-325
degrees F.. When half done, turn
bird to opposite side of breast.
Basic at intervals with mixture of
u pound melted butter or margarine
and pint of warmed wine.
Turkey is done when thermometer
that has been securely inserted in
the middle of the inside thigh
muscle registers 100 degrees or when
leg joints break or move readily
when drumstick is moved up and
down. Ordinarily, it will take a 10
pound turkey 31a hours at 325 de-
grees F. and 14-18 pound turkey
4 to Az hours at 300 degrees.

Clip and File!
By the Victory Chef

There's an old saying that you
can use all of the pig but his
squeal," and that phrase is just
about as applicable to the Thanks
giving turkey. Certainly the fes-
tive bird stages any number of
curtain calls, all varied in presenta-
tion-until the final bow which re-
suits in a steaming kettle of rich
turkey soup.
You may have your own pet ways
OF featuring repeats of this type, but
in case you are looking for some
new ideas, here are few that have
come my way in the past. OF course,
the first version is that wonderful
one of cold sliced turkey with hot
glblet gravy and the remains of the
cranberry sauce-but after that, a
little ingenuity goes a long way.
Take, for instance, a turkey curry,
Chinese style. Heat neatly diced
pieces of leftover turkey in some
chicken broth, with y cup or so OF
celery cut in julienne strips. When
the turkey has heated through, re-
move it to a hot platter, strain the

@. Is a man who is married and
has children likely to be sent over
seas if he was drafted only three
weeks before the war ended? How
long will his training period be?-
L. r. S.
A. Recently inducted men il
qualified under current War De-
partment regulations will be used
for occupation forces to relieve men
who have had long combat service,
according to the War Department.
Many of these men about to be
discharged are also fathers and have
been separated from their families
for a long time. The training Pc
riod for men who will be part of
the occupation forces will be about
seven weeks.
@. Please explain what is meant
when a sailor is given a commenda-
ton before a meritorious mast?-
jos.
A. Such commendation by a
commanding officer goes on the
mans service record and is a IA
vorable mark of recognition for
performance of duty. Aboard ship,
official meetings of an officer with
his men are called masts. These
meetings originally were held on
deck at the base of the mast, hence
the name. Minor punishments are
assigned at captains mast, and
concentrations are given at meri-
torious mast. .
O. Are any American soldiers still
In German prisoner-of-war camps?-
A. The War Department says that
so far as is known all American
soldiers have been liberated from
German prisoner -of-war camps
However, War Department records
show that 200 American prisoners
of war are still maecounted for.
@. Did Capt. Colin Kelly receive
Medal of Honor?-R. T.J.
A. No. The War Department says
that Capt. Colin P. Kelly was not
awarded the Medal of Honor. He
was awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross and the Distinguished
Flying Cross.
@. Has any Negro received the
Medal of Honor for service in the
Army in the First World War and
the present war?-L. B. G.
A. The War Department says that
no Negro has received the Medal of
Honor for service in the Army during

World War.
