TURKEY BONED AND FORCED.

A turkey thus prepared may be either boiled or roasted; there are directions for boning poultry which might be given, but it is always better to let the poulterer do it; when boned it must be filled with a fine forcemeat, which may be varied in several ways, the basis should be according to the receipt given for veal stuffings, forcemeats, sausage meat, tongue, and mushrooms added as approved.  When boiled it is served with any fine white sauce, French cooks use the veloute or bechamel.  When roasted, a cradle spit is very convenient, but if there is not one the turkey must be carefully tied to the spit.
