Ingredients
- four eggs chopped
Directions
Have the turkey nicely cleaned, and let it lay in salt and water a few minutes ; fill with a stuffing of bread, butter, salt, pepper and parsley ; tie the legs and wings, and then pin up in a towel ; drop a little salt in the water. A large turkey will boil in about three or four hours ; it should be kept boiling all the time, but not too fast, or it will boil to pieces. Serve with drawn batter, with four eggs chopped and some parsley. Oyster sauce is good with boiled turkey. — Mrs. Martin.
If you have fowls that you fear will become musty before you can cook them, skin an onion and put inside, with a little pepper and salt ; also, wash them in soda water before cooking. Some persons fill a small muslin bag with charcoal and put it inside and hang in a cool place.
