As I wait for my fresh, pre-brined turkey to be delivered to my door I decided to check on Thanksgiving turkey recipes in the Compendium of Cookery, a cookbook which was passed down from my second great-grandmother, Maren/Mary (Haselhaugen) Ove. Here are preparation instructions from her 1890 cookbook…for those of you who are brave enough to attempt them.

    1. From someone who would rather eat a bug than cook (well, almost!), that doesn’t look like fun at all!! But it was probably just delicious 🙁 Have a terrific Thanksgiving!

      1. Pam, I love to cook, but plucking a turkey doesn’t sound fun to me either! 😂 Happy Holidays!

    1. This is great!
      I said that I would send you some pictures, and I still will. I have had a long stressful summer personally and I’m politically active, so now that the mid terms are over I will get them to you. Lisa Gregoire Haney
