Do not put any filling in the turkey.  It will then resemble the grilled turkey of New Orleans.

CRANBERRY JELLY, USING SYRUP

Purchase the white corn syrup and place in a saucepan and add the cranberries.  Bring to a boil and cook slowly for twenty minutes, and then turn into a bowl to mould.  If you wish to strain out the seeds and skins, rub through a coarse sieve.

If you wish to turn the cranberries from the bowl, rinse the bowl in cold water before pouring the jelly in.

TUNA FISH A LA KING

Open cans of fish and turn into a large bowl.  Make the sauce as follows.  Place in a saucepan

  Six quarts of milk,
  Five level cups of flour.

Stir to blend thoroughly, then bring to a boil and cook slowly for five minutes.  Now add

  One can of chopped pimentos,
  The prepared mushrooms,
  Three level tablespoons of salt,
  Two level tablespoons of paprika,
  One teaspoon of pepper.

The tuna fish should be broken in large pieces.  Heat slowly and when hot serve on thin slices of toast.

TO PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS

Peel the mushrooms and then cut both caps and stems in small pieces.  Parboil for five minutes in boiling water and then drain and use.

A heart shape may be arranged for either the square or round table.  Have the shape made by a carpenter, fastening small cleats underneath to prevent its slipping off table top.  The cleats must be arranged so they will catch the edge of the table.
