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 drippings at all? Since there is more fat left in your roasting pan than there is liquid, you opt for pan gravy. Pot gravy would go better if there were more liquid than fat. Put the bird onto serving platter and pour off the fat, reserv: ; ing 4 tablespoons. ; Scrape the meat particles off the bottom off the pan, adding a little water to help unstick them. After,' returning the fat to the pan, reduce the heat, to .low. Quickly, stir in 4 tablespoon?; of flour and stir and cook,, ihe paste for three . minutes. v.- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in two cups of warm water.

But Jean Godfrey said that it can be done and that she has been doing it for years, often without her husband or sons realizing they are eating turkey. Mrs. Godfrey has taught hundreds of homemakers how to accomplish such an amazing feat, most recently at the Brigham Young University Center in Og- ? i i den. She said that she can get at least 90 servings from one or larger turkey, which includes 50 fillets of turkey; 2 turkey gelatin loaves, each of which will produce 10 to 12 servings; 24 bullion cubes which each provide one cup of bullion for flavoring when mixed with water, and two quarts of condensed soup stock : Staff Photos by Rodney Wright v plus meat that can be made into ONLY ONE week left until Thanksgiving, for the traditional feast that awaits her servings of hearty soup. and little Jacquie Powell looks hungry and most lakeside area residents.

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 layeri of newspa- per to absorb the ice and juices that are produced as the bird thaws. The cloth is especially conve- nient 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 caseroles 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 horizontial-l- y 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 inch 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- -- 1 voring.

In some parts of the world, just a meal a day would be considered cause for prayers of thanks.
