Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Remove and bone the young turkey’s legs.
  2. With the meat, carefully cleared of all tendons, prepare a mousseline forcemeat;
  3. spread the latter on a tray in a layer one-third in.
  4. thick, and poach it.
  5. Stamp it out with an even, oval fancy-cutter, about three in.
  6. by two in.
  7. Braise or poële the young turkey’s breast with the greatest care, keeping it underdone.
  8. This done, raise the two suprêmes, skin them, and cut them into collops of a size that will allow of their being trimmed with the fancy-cutter already used.
  9. With a little raw forcemeat, stick a collop to each oval of poached forcemeat;
  10. then, by means of a piping-bag fitted with an even pipe, garnish the borders of the collops with the same forcemeat combined with twice its bulk of chopped salted tongue.
  11. Set the medallions thus prepared on a covered tray, and put them in the steamer that the forcemeat may poach.
  12. When about to serve, take the piping-bag and make a fine rosette of a purée of peas in the centre of each medallion.
  13. Set these medallions in a circle on a round dish, around a little bowl of carved, fried bread, garnished with the same purée of peas.
  14. Serve separately a velouté prepared from the bones of the dindonneau.
