• 1 loaf of dry broken bread
• 1/2 cake pan of corn bread
• 3 eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Turkey:

Salt and pepper and butter inside of turkey with melted butter.
Don't cut tail off turkey. Cris-cross lets around tail and wrap twines around them. Push turkey wings together and wrap twines around the wings and turkey.

Take one yard of cheese cloth--dip in melted butter and a little water. Drape over turkey even down around legs. Keep cheese cloth moist while baking.

1/2 hour per lb for stuffed turkey 350 degrees for stuffed turkey or 325 degrees. With good oven 325 would be better.
