SAUCE
2 tbsp turkey or chicken fat (i would use, butter)
3 tbsp flour water
1/2 tsp savory
1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup cream
HOT BISCUITS
2 cup flour, all purpose
1 tbsp baking powder

3/4 cup cream
2 eggs, beaten
Directions
La fricasee fatuguee
Heat in frying pan 2-3 Tbsp melted butter or turkey or chicken fat.
Add thinly sliced onion and diced celery. Heat 5-8 minutes over low
heat, stirring often. Add 2-3 cups cooked turkey. Cook 5 minutes over
low heat.
Sauce: Brown the chicken fat (I would use butter) and flour well
before adding water. Add savory, salt and pepper to taste. When sauce
is smooth and creamy, add 1/4 cup cream and any remaining turkey or
chicken gravy. Pour over turkey. Simmer 15 minutes, then serve with
hot biscuits and pickled beets.
Hot Biscuits: Sift together in bowl, flour, baking powder (no error in
amount) and salt. Mix together cream with 2 beaten eggs. Add to flour
and mix just enough to moisten; the dough is rather soft and should
remain lumpy. Stir as little as possible. Drop by spoonfuls on a
greased cookie sheet. Cook 16 minutes at 400F.
from Mme. Benoit, "In days that followed Christmas, every bit of the
turkey was used - the bones for soup, the skin, diced and crisped in
the oven until browned, then served, instead of butter, on toasted
homemade bread. So, when it came time to make hash from all the
little bits and pieces, the children felt that the poor turkey must
be tired (fatiguee), hence the name.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, there are a couple of recipe books which date from the 1300s : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. For the next few years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
