To Broil a Turkey

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Select a very small, fat, young one, weighing not over five pounds. Have it split as you would a chick- en for broiling. Place it in the roasting pan seasoned with salt, pepper and butter, with a half cup of water in the pan. Cook until the meat is tender, then broil over a rather slow fire. When brown put on a hot platter, spread with butter and season with salt. Save any liquid left in the pan for chestnut sauce to pour around it. If the turkey is unusually young and ten- der it can be broiled without cooking in the oven.
