Texas Hash

1. 1

   A pan in which the bird fits rather snugly but is not crowded is preferred.

2. 2

   After cleaning the cavity and inserting an onion or two (if stuffing is not desired), rub the outside of the turkey with salt and pepper and a little butter.

3. 3

   Place in pan.

4. 4

   A generous size piece of brown paper, brushed on both sides with bacon fat, margarine or shortening is then humped a bit and arched over the bird.

5. 5

   With a little persuasion, it can be curved as to cover the turkey without quite touching it.

6. 6

   Tie it securely in place around sides of pan.

7. 7

   Be sure it is tied tight.

8. 8

   Cut off any excess while you are greasing the paper; let the oven be heating to 500u00b0.

9. 9

   Place turkey in oven.

10. 10

    When you hear a sizzling sound coming from oven, reduce heat to 400u00b0.

11. 11

    Don't break the paper or let your curiosity or doubt tempt you to peek!

12. 12

    Don't even open the oven door.
