T urkey Can No Need For Panic Over Gravy Provide 90 Servings When Cut, Stored Properly Review LYNDIA GRAHAM CHERYL ARCHIBALD Correspondent The turkey is roasted to a golden brown, the pies are out of the oven, and the mashed potatoes are whipped to a fluff. The last thing to prepare is the gravy, and since everything else turned out nearly perfect, visions of lumpy gravy plagues your mind. You remember what your mother taught you. Dont panic, you can always strain gravy, or beat it with the electric beater. You hope you wont have to resort to that. So you have a decision to make. Will you make au jus gravy and not thicken the turkey Review Correspondent LAYTON If somone told you that she could give your family 90 servings of meat, supplying all of the protein that they need at each of more than a dozen meals at a cost of less than $14, you might think she would need a miracle. If she also insisted that the meat was low in fat and cholesterol, could be used in an extremely wide variety of dishes, ' and came in the form of one 'y '7 n ' ' ;"l1 ,71 turkey, you might stop ' expecting miracles and begin to ;',r laugh.

She said that since any turkey has about three pounds of bones, it only makes economic sense to buy the biggest that you can get because the bigger the bird, the more meat overall per pound. She begins with a slightly frozen bird so that the meat is easier to carve while raw. She places the bird breast side up on a pillowcase type cloth which has both ends open. Between the layers of the cloth she inserts several layers of newspaper to absorb the ice and juices that are produced as the bird thaws. The cloth is especially convenient because' it can be easily laundered, is absorbant with the newspaper inside, and keeps the turkey from slipping around while it is being cut up. Nearby she keeps a pot to put all of the skin and bones for the broth, another pan for the bits and pieces for caserolcs and stir frying, and a plate for the fillets. As the fillets are cut they are bagged in small plastic bags in meal-siz- e portions and frozen. She has boning and cutting down to an art and can completely do a turkey in 30 to 40 minutes at home. She said that a homemaker gets faster with each turkey she cuts up. Good sharp knives are essential and caution is especially important because the fingers become slightly numb while working with a cold turkey and cant alwasy feel the little cuts. I always keep a little box of bandaids with my boning knives, she quipped. To begin, Mrs. Godfrey removes the skin from the breast area; it all goes into the stock pot. If a turkey roast is desired, d she cuts about a roast from the breast area. For fillets, she cuts all along the breast bone to loosen the meat and then slices horizontally along the breast in about one half-inc-h thick pieces. She can get about 16 steaks or fillets from one side without a roast taken out and about 10 with a roast. If, as she cuts into the turkey, it becomes difficult to cut, she simply moves to another part of the turkey to give the thicker portions time to thaw. For thick steaks for barbequing in the summer, she cuts thick slices and then marinates them overnight in one fourth-cu- p cooking oil which has teaspoon sesame oil added for flathree-poun- 3i-in- 1 voring. Mrs. Godfrey contends that many people think of turkey as a Continued on Page 2B Way of Life Cause for Gratitude, Say Residents CHERYL ARcAlBALD RUTH MALAN Review Correspondents Thanksgiving is the one time each year that we take account the blessings weve enjoyed all year - many of the things weve taken for granted the past 12 months. In some parts of the world, just a meal a day would be considered cause for prayers of thanks. In America, many have, more than other, some are just more thankful than others, but most find mucll to be grateful -- for. What do residents in the lakeside area feel to be their most important blessings? Some reprei sentatives of the community gave their ideas. Robert Palmquist, mayor of North Salt Lake, and his wife Shirley, recently returned from a k tour of Europe where they visited their son, Army Capt. David Palmquist. Capt. Palmquist is an 4 Fighter pilot Krving in Spangdahlum, West Germany. "May&r Palmquist, who is himself a retired lieutenant colonel, having served 24 years in the Air Force, said that after visiting Some countries in Europe, he three-wee- F-- was especially thankful this year to happen to have been born in America. He was also thankful for the fact that we have the opportuni- ty to get involved in community government. Even in a country like England, after officials are elected, the citizen has to go along with whatever the elected official does until the next election. There are no Sunshine Laws. no referen-dumThe only way to change something is to wait for four years and vote that person out of office. The Reverend Gordon Reetz, pastor of the Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Bountiful, said simply that he is thankful for normalcy. He explained, Everyone i for something usualsearching for miracles, or for ly looking that spectacular happening that will make their day.

Nothing spectacular - Bradford decreed that a three- -- . -- day feast be held, a Thanksgiving Day for the purpose of prayer as well as celebration," Mrs. Berrett said. We picture in our minds the pilgrims and Indians, sitting around large tables filled with turkey, ducks, corn bread and pies, giving thanks for what they had." Were greatful as a family for this tradition, Mrs. Berrett said. We always look forward to Thanksgiving. It's a family time, a time for religious thinking and Its a time to reflect on that are ours and to show gratitude to the Lord. We're grateful for our heritage and for those that made it possible for us to live under such favorable circumstances, that we are able to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that surround prayer. all the blessings us. Mrs. Berrett quoted George Herbert, Thou that has given so much to us, give one thing more, a grateful heart. |
