Nut Turkey Recipe

Nut turkey for Thanksgiving instead of the national bird, made by mixing

one quart of sifted dry bread crumbs with one pint of chopped English

walnuts--any other kind of nuts will go--and one cupful of peanuts,

simply washed and dried, and adding a level teaspoon of sage, two of

salt, a tablespoon of chopped parsley, two raw eggs, not beaten, and

sufficient water to bind the mass together. Then form into the shape of

a turkey, with pieces of macaroni to form the leg bones. Brush with a

little butter and bake an hour in a slow oven and serve with drawn

butter sauce.

A dinner roast made of nuts and cheese contains the elements of meat.

Cook two tablespoons of chopped onion in a tablespoon of butter and a

little water until it is tender, then mix with it one cupful each of

grated cheese, chopped English walnuts and bread crumbs, salt and pepper

to taste and the juice of half a lemon; moisten with water, using that

in which the onion has been cooked; put into a shallow baking dish and

brown in the oven.

Hickory nut loaf is another dish which can take the place of meat at

dinner. Mix two cups of rolled oats, a cupful each of celery and milk,

two cups of bread crumbs and two eggs, season and shape, then bake 20

minutes. Serve with a gravy made like other gravy, with the addition of

a teaspoon of rolled nuts.
