Turkey Hash

Oven, in the book's wordsA hot oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Remove the meat from the turkey bones and shred it into small bits.

  2. Add dressing and fine pieces of light biscuit, then mix everything together.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a dripping pan and moisten thoroughly with gravy.

  4. Place in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes and serve.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
