MEDFOJRD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Turkey Bonania Meant Much Good Eating : The All-American bird, the : versatile turkey, is unsur- passed in many ways for good eating at modest cost; still is ; thought very gala for special occasions like the holiday coming up. Today s well-bred well-fed turkey is one of the ,' most efficient of all meat pro ducers. It yields more meat . per pound of food in less time than any other of our common domesticated meat-producing animals and poultry. This ef . ficiency keeps cost low. ; Grown in great abundance in our part of the country, this year s crop is said to be "bumper" one. No meat comes in a greater number of con venient forms. There are whole turkeys, half turkeys and quarter turkeys for roast- ' ing and for barbecuing. Cut- up turkey pieces make it pos ' sible to choose the pieces the ' family likes best for prepar- ing in many ways. Recently has come the bone- '. less turkey roll, (turkey log, ' turkey bar) which has been - popular with America s insti- - tutional chefs for some time . now. Turkey steaks too, froz - en, sometimes breaded, usu- ally three to a package, are . increasing in distribution the public favors them. Better check ahead with your meat- . man on these specialties. - Today We Talk - Of Turkey Rolls The boneless bananza, that's what they call the turkey roll log or bar. The market poten tial of both the precooked and raw boneless turkey roll just beginning to be felt. Most boneless turkey rolls today are marketed two ; pounds to nine pounds. A ' three-pound pre-cooked tur- ' key roll is equivalent to nine pounds of raw meat on the : bone. Some campanies are marketing them in smaller square, sandwich-shaped bars. Like the frozen whole turkey, they can be frozen and kept in . storage satisfactorily. Our picture combines a boneless turkey roll with orange glaze surrounded with sweetened broiled orange baskets. The vegetable plate "could consist of fluffy rice flecked with frozen chopped chives and buttered aspara- gus spears. A side dish of course and always has red , rings of canned cranberry Jel ly or a generous bowl of whole cranberries. 'Orange Glaze, Roast the turkey rolled roast according to directions on the label. One half hour before turkey is done, brush with Orange -Glaze made like this: Combine one-half cup orange juice, -three tablespoons honey, two tablespoons grated orange .rind, one-half teaspoon instant .minced onion; pour or brush over turkey roll or rolls. Baste occasionally until roll is .glazed and done (remember ing those label directions). To Broil Oranges. Cut fresh oranges into halves using zig zag motion. Twist apart. Brush with honey or sprinkle with brown sugar; broil 10 minutes or so. Serve warm. Other Ways With -Turkey Roast or Roll : Sliced roasted turkey roll or carved trom a rodst make .fine eating in ways beyond -counting. We suggest a few .ways here. ; Slices of turkey, frozen broccoli and cheese soup com bined in layers make a tasty nd quick Turkey Divan. " Slices of turkey, tomato, lettuce and cheese on a hard roll make a hearty sandwich. : Remember when making turkey sandwiches, plenty of butter or mayonnaise and each and every one individu ally salted and peppered. - Slices of turkey and a can of chicken gravy make a hot sandwich. Prepare turkey roll using a barbecue sauce for the basting instead of the orange glaze suggested above. Other cold turkey ways in clude tossed turkey salad, tur key chow mein, turkey a la king, turkey cutlets; scalloped turkey and turkey in a Club House sandwich. Meals Packed in Toil Enjoy Enormous Popularity The picnic season revives interest in foil-packaged meals which were really rolling in popularity last summer. There are many good reasons. The hostess can make them up ahead of time, planning to out door grill or oven-cook them, ready for distributing to guests either piled high on warm tray or placed individ ually on plates. Or she may assemble the as sorted ingredients, give each guest appropriate size square of heavy duty aluminum foil and let each make his own as sortment and grill it inde pendently (better put a mark er on yours). In either event, each person opens his own packet and eats directly from the package. Surprise Packages Have tender beef and veal cut in one-inch cubes. Tear off large squares of heavy duty aluminum foil. Place suffic ient cubes for a portion in cen ters of foil. Add a small ripe tomato, several rings of green pepper, a slice of onion to each. Season with salt and pepper and a pinch of ore gano. Add a pat of butter or margarine to each. Seal foil to make a tight package and place on grill over hot fire and cook turning once or twice for about one hour. Flavor will be wonderful! Eat it from the foil. Out-door grilling and oven cooking (375 degrees) take about the same time. If pack aged meals are frozen, figure on lvi hours. In either event, an automatic timer or alarm clock properly set is a fine idea. Hamburger Hurrahs Where there are holidays, there are bound to be ham burgers. It is easy to get hur rahs for your hamburgers from new flavor variations. No possible reason for mo notony here. Always gener ously butter or mayonnaise the buns and if posible, toast them. Work-in celery seeds, slight ly toasted poppy seeds or toasted and chopped nuts into salted and peppered ground meat. Add bread crumbs that have been soaked In milk. Add rice or hominy mixed with melted butter and to mato paste. Add onion juice or grated onion, gencrously- or minced green peppers, minced ripe or stuffed olives. Tunisian Salad Hat French Dretiing Tunisia, a Republic, covers an area of 48.332 square miles, has a population estimated at 3,800,000 of which about 90 per cent are natives. Agricul ture is the chief industry with over one-fourth of the arable land in wheat. Other import ant crops are barley, oats, corn, sorgum, beans and peas. There are huge herds of sheep and goats, lesser numbers of cattle and camels. Like Americans, Tunisians enjoy a salad but lettuce is likely to be used only as gar nish. Their salad dressing might have been taken from any of our cookbooks. For each four servings, slice one medium cucumber fine; sprinkle with salt and let stand one-half hour; drain. Slice two medium tomatoes, one medium onion, one med ium green pepper and three hard-cooked eggs. Arrange vegetables and eggs on lettuce leaves for individual servings. Pour French dressing over the salad. Olives often are used as garnish. Salad dressing is made By THURSDAY.

Sick Pay Provision May Be Narrowed Washington-tUPD-The House Ways and Means- Committee Wed n e s d a y tentatively ap proved a compromise version of one of the tax-raising pro visions of President Ken nedy's tax program. The committee agreed to narrow sharply the tax exemption treatment for "sick pay" drawn by employees ab sent from work. Kennedy had recommended outright repeal of the exemption. Under existing law, the first $100 a week in wages paid a hospitalized employee is tax exempt. In cases where an ill ness does not require hospi talization, the exemption does not apply to wages received during the first seven days of employee's absence. The committee decided to limit the exemption in all cases to that drawn after an ailing employee has been ab sent from work for 30 days. It was the first tax-boosting combining one-fourth cup ol ive or salad oil, one tablespoon vinegar, one tablespoon lemon juice, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one eighth teaspoon sugar, one-eighth teaspoon dry mus tard and one-eighth teaspoon paprika. Place all ingredients in a covered jar and shake to blend. Lemon Ice Cubes From now one and through out the summer, it is a pleas ure to have fancy ice cubes handy for lemonades, colas and other beverages. Fill ice tray one-third full of water; put twist of lemon peel or red or green mara schino cherry in each section and freeze. When firm, fill rest of tray with water and continue freezing. There's no diluting the beverage flavor. Ham Dunk With party picks, skewer hot ham cubes and pineapple chunks and serve in a chafing dish or in a casserole over a candle warmer using a hot sweet-sour or barbecue sauce for dunking. Battered toasted slices of rye bread alongside are party-perfect. provision of Kennedy's pro gram to win committee approval. Trail Firm Bids High for Timber C. M. and D.
