Turkey Fricassee

Separate the meat from the bones of some remains of cold cooked turkey, cut it into small pieces, and season it with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Pour one teacupful of milk into a saucepan with a thin strip of lemon peel, and boil it for five minutes. Mix one dessertspoonful of cornstarch to a paste with a little cold milk, then stir it into the milk in the saucepan, and keep on stirring it over the fire for two minutes; then take out the lemon peel, remove the sauce from the fire, and allow it to cool for several moments. Add one-half ounce of butter to the sauce, put it in the cut-up meat, and stir it over the fire until hot. While the turkey is being warmed up fry some thin squares of bacon. Turn the turkey onto a hot dish, arrange the bacon around, and serve.
