This recipe was extracted from The Twin-city housewife (1920) by N.C.) International Order of the King's Daughters and Sons. Whatsoever Circle (Winston-Salem, page 29. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Roast Turkey When ready for cooking put the turkey in boiling water and let remain ten minutes. Make a dressing of toasted bread crumbs, three hard boiled eggs, chopped fine, one nice bunch of celery, chopped fine, season with butter, salt and pepper. Fill the cavity with dressing. Rub the turkey well with butter and place in a pan with one pint of boiling water. Put in a hot oven, basting and turning frequently until every part is a nice brown. When the meat is an amber color pin a buttered sheet of paper over it to keep it from getting hard and dry. Cook three or four hours. Season gravy with celery.——Mrs. W. M. Moseley.
