THE TURKEYS TOO BIG FOR
THE ROASTING PAN! Even if you
discover this as fate as Christmas
morning, don't get panicky. Alum
mum foil can increase the capacity
of the roasting pan by several
inches. Tear off sheet of foil
large enough to fit under the mr-
key and protrude about six inches
on all sides Center the turkey on
/ the foil and carefully place it on
the rack in your roasting pan. Turn
up the edges OF the foil slightly to
prevent the drippingS from run
ming out during roasting. This trick
| does more than increase the capa-
city Of q roasting pan it confines
the drippings TO the foil. SO that the
pan requires little or 10 cleaning
afterward.
