The Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-10-09, Page 14• 4A 000gIOCH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9.1969 diving turkey Planning, for the traditional turkey f anksgiving dinner this year? There will be an abundance of these regal birds, ifrOln the light -weight young turkeys (sometimes termed "broilers") to the heavier mature birds over 10 pounds. When buying a whole turkey allow 3/4 to 1 pound per serving. The feasting will be economical because all classes of poultry are a good buy at meat counters this fall. Canada Grade A poultry is the grade most commonly available. If, however, you see Canada Grade B advertised do not think you are taking a risk in buying such bird. They have passed the same health inspection as the top grade but have been down graded because of such factors as slightly 'Crooked keel bone, pinfeathers, minor tears or discoloration. The grade mark will appear on a metal tag on the skin or on a transparent bag or on an insert inside the bag. For small families, you may buy a whole turkey broiler weighing 6 to 10 pounds or 6turkey parts such as legs, wings or breasts. These parts may come from broiler size or heavier birds and will vary in weight accordingly. Look for them among the fresh or frozen poultry displays. These are popular items because you can make the selection according to the light or , dark meat preferences of your family. The honie economists of the Canada Department of Agriculture have developed some recipes featuring various turkey parts. "Savory Turkey Legs" uses three turkey legs (drumsticks and thighs) with a combined weight of three pounds. On the basis of 1/2 pound per serving for cut-up turkey parts this will provide six servings. "Breast of Turkey with Fruit Sauce" uses about three pounds of breast meat. The breasts are • boned, cut up and covered with a vinegar -soy sauce blend. They are baked till tender then served with more of the sauce to which fruit and thinly sliced vegetables are added. Each of these tantalizing dishes is "turkey with °?t difference." They take little time to prepare and will be a pleasant change from roast turkey. If you have bought a large turkey, the home economistS of the Canada Department of Agriculture have an attractive . casserole to help use some of the k ft -over meat. "Turkey Broccoli Casserole is delicious for the day after Thanksgiving. If desired, one package (12 -ounce) cooked frozen peas may be substituted for the fresh broccoli.
