Ingredients

  • 1 hen turkey
  • Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1

Method

Pull out the pinfeathers. Then singe off the hairs over a flame quickly so as not to darken or scorch the skin. Cut off the head and feet. Scrub the bird with a brush. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Cut out the oil sac on top of the tail.

To draw the bird, first slit the skin lengthwise at the back of the neck. Slip the skin down and without tearing outer skin, remove windpipe and crop.
