Turkey and all the trimmings-^ |
that'i what makes a Christina* I
feast At for a king.
The turkey, of bourse, is the
most important item so great I
cate and consideration must be
given to the selection and prepa-
ration of. thia native American
fowl.
Age, sex. and tenderness of the
meat determine the market class |
of the bird. The youngest turkeys,
by far the most popular with
American families today, weigh
from 4 to 6 pounds.
The next class, popular with
larger families weigh in from 6 I
to 25 pounds and is composed of
toms arid hens over eijfht months'
of age These older** oms tend
to be stronger in taste and for
that reason the hens are more
popular. _
Top Birds
A top quality bird should have
a well - developed. mode-ately
broad breast, well fleshed through
its entire width and length The
breastbone should not protrude
Preparing your fowl is impor-
tant also. Be sure that all wingtlp
feathers tiave been removed Any
remaining ones can be pulle-l out
by pressing the skin around the
feathers down to the tips of the
quills with .the forefinger and
thumb of one hand and pulling
Jhe feathers straight out-with the
other hand.

fylay each Christmas candle add ils
light to the brightest, happiest Day ol
the year lor you and yours May all
the joys ol the season be yours in fullest
measure . . . may its memories lift your
heart and warm your spirit throughout
a New Year, rich in good health and
happiness.
Beautiful indeed Is the story of Christmas ... the
story of how, so many years ago. the Wisemen saw
the Light . . . the Star . . and followed it to a rich
and wonderful reward
Again It Is Christmas . . a time to draw our loved
ones and our friends closer to us ... a time to find
new faith and new hope ln the true Spirit of
Christmas.
Helps Taste
By using a pair of pliers you
can remove many of the heavy
tendons of the legs This greatly
improves the cooking and taste
of the drumsticks.
Stuff your turkey Just before
putting it into the oven Use three
skewers before closing the cavity
Tie a square knot after each
skewer so the lacing won’t tight-
en. This allows steam to escape
and prevents soggy dressing.
And last, but important, give
your turkey a chance to cool be-
fore serving. It v ill carve much
better if you do.
