Ingredients
- Turkey
- Butter
- Flour
Directions
- Make a dressing to suit you; there are several to choose from in this book, made from bread, or forcemeat. Stuff the turkey, season it with salt, pepper, and a little butter, dredge it with flour and put it in the oven
- let the fire be slow at first, and hotter as it begins to cook.
- Baste frequently with butter.
- When the turkey is well plumped up, and the steam draws toward the fire, it is nearly done; then dredge again with flour, and baste with more butter until it is a nice brown. Serve with gravy and bread sauce; some like chestnuts stewed in the turkey gravy, and served with it. A very large turkey will take three hours to roast, one of eight pounds will take two hours.
