Roast Turkey With Sage Dressing

Dress the turkey carefully and rub inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff with a dressing prepared as follows: Take a loaf of stale bread and one-third as much corn bread crumbs, soften by pouring over warm (not boiling) liquor where the giblets have been boiled, sprinkle with two teaspoons powdered sage, one-fourth teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste; add tablespoon of butter and mix well together. Giblets may be cut in bits and added to dressing. Sew up opening and place in roast pan, add half pint water and roast till tender. A turkey weighing ten pounds requires three hours. When tender remove cover and baste with butter and dredge with a little flour - this gives a frothy appearance. When done remove from pan and make gravy by adding more water and thickening. Mrs. S. D. Cochran.
