To Boil a Turkey

Mrs. Robert Beaty.

Make a stuffing for the craw of chopped bread and butter, cream, oysters, and the yolks of eggs; sew it in, and dredge flour over the turkey, and put it to boil in cold water, with a spoonful of salt in it, and enough water to cover them well; let it simmer for two hours and a half, or, if small, less time; skim it while boil ing; it looks nicer if wrapped in a cloth dredged with flour; serve it with drawn butter, in which put some oysters.
