RAGOÛT OF TURKEY.

This is also a cheap, yet nice dish. Cut the cold turkey from the bones

and into bits an inch long with knife and fork, tearing as little as

possible. Put into a skillet or saucepan the gravy left from the roast,

with hot water to dilute it should the quantity be small. Add a lump

of butter the size of an egg, a teaspoonful of pungent sauce, a large

pinch of nutmeg, with a little salt. Let it boil, and put in the meat.

Stew very slowly for ten minutes—not more—and stir in a tablespoonful

of cranberry or currant jelly, another of browned flour which has been

wet with cold water; lastly, a glass of brown Sherry or Madeira. Boil

up once, and serve in a covered dish for breakfast. Leave out the

stuffing entirely; it is no improvement to the flavor, and disfigures

the appearance of the ragoût.
