Tradition Dictates
Turkey Cooking
For Thanksgiving
BY JEANNE LESEM v
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) There is" more
than one way to serve turkey
during the holiday season, and
still stick to tradition.
It just depends on the part
of the country you hail from,
Sauerkraut is a Thanksgiving
turkey accompaniment in west
ern Maryland, for instance, say
John and Marie Roberson, auth
ors of "The Famous American
Recipes Cookbook." ,
And there are other regional
variations from the turkey and
cranberry sauce menu which
generally is regarded as THE
classic Thanksgiving Day din
ner. Take stuffings. Vermonters
favor a bread crumb, salt pork
and apple filling. In Minnesota,
wild rice and chestnuts are
used.
Cooking Tips
Maryland tradition calls for
an oyster-bread crumb mixture
and the South features several
types. Mississippians and Geor
gians are likely to serve a pecan
stuffing; North Carolinians,
corn bread; Kentuckians, a sa
usage variety.
The Tidewater section of colo
nial Virginia likes a chestnut
sausage stuffing, seasoned with
herbs and spices.
Although traditions for stuf
fings and side dishes vary reg
ionally, most modern cooks
agree on the best method of
cooking the turkey itself. It
bears little resemblance to col
onial custom.
In olden days, the Robersons
said, the stuffed bird was placed
on a trivet in a meat pan. The
bottom of the pan was covered
with boiling water, and the tur
key was roasted in an over of
average temperature for three
or four hours. It was basted
every 15 minutes.
Cape Cod "Turkey"
Today, dry roasting is prefer
red. A turkey that has been
greased thoroughly with melted
butter or margarine, and cover
ed with a cheesecloth dipped
in the fat, is cooked uncovered
in a pre-heated, moderately slow
oven (325 degrees), from three
to eight hours, depending on the
weight of the bird.
The cook who doesn't trust
her own judgement can use any
of the efficient meat and poul
try thermometers available.
The turkey will be easier to
carve, and juicier to eat, if it's
allowed to "rest" on a warm
platter in a warm place for the
15 to 25 minutes needed to
make gravy from the pan dripp
ings. If all this sounds like too
much trouble, you can serve
Cape Cod "turkey" instead.
Cape Cod "turkey" is simply
an honorary name given by ear
ly New England colonists to a
baked stuffed codfish recipe.
They felt that "without the fish
ing industry we would have
little to be thankful for."
Cub Scouts Make
Hospital Favors
For Thanksgiving
Patients confined ' to Rogue
Valley Memorial hospital today
will be cheered by the appear
ance of Thanksgiving tray fav
ors provided by two dens of Cub
Scouts, according to Mrs. Tom
MacLeod, dietition at the hos
pital. The boys shared the pro
ject of making "turkeys" of pine
cones and colored paper.
Thanksgiving favors were
made by members of Den 7,
Pack 5, under the leadership of
Mrs. Elwood B. Hedberg and
Den 1, Pack 14, whose den moth
er is Mrs. A. J. Johannson, as
sisted by Mrs. Jerome McDoug
all. Tray decorations are provid
ed by various youth groups
throughout the county for all
major holidays during the year.
Any groups interested in mak
ing favors are invited to contact
Mrs. Jack Sanborn, SPring 2
8937, who is in charge of mak
ing arrangements, under auspic
es of the Rogue Valley Memor
ial hospital auxiliary.

New York (IP) The man who

President Eisenhower never be

years supervised the preparation

'that the President had never
suffered a stomach reversal on
my account." He hurriedly point
ed out that the Eisenhower ileitis
attack "happened after a dinner
at a Washington hotel."
Rysavy is chock full of infor
mation on likes and dislikes of
the first family. He discovered,
the hard way, that Mrs. Eisen
hower is anti-onion. President
Eisenhower's knack with a beef
stew is pretty well publicized,
so the chef decided one evening
to serve the Hunearian version.

course.
Next day, he said, the head
butler showed up at the kitchen
door to comment: "You must
have used onions in the stew
last night . . . the first lady had
trouble sleeDins."
"I served stew manv times
again," said Rysavy, "but never
with onions."
Incidentally, the' chef includes
a recipe for blueberry pie as
he made it at the White House
plus the diet the President went
on. after his heart attack in
1955. He refers to the President
as a steak man "it is his favorite
meat." and said, "like manv an
other husband, he is not salad
crazy."
"One of the strangest of his

lunch. She has a "passion for

on state occasions when the
menu usually takes on a con

Meat loaf, served with baked
macaroni and string beans, is a
Sunday dinner favorite. And,
Rysavy said, when the President
and his brother, Dr. Milton Eis
enhower, breakfast together, the
main course usually is fried
mush "which was one of their
favorite foods when they were
growing up in Abilene."
Both the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower are "calorie count

breads except for sandwiches.
