This 1964 recipe is taken from a cookbook compiled by the Webster, New York Newcomer’s Club. For many years it has been one of my personal favorites because it’s so flavorful.

Questions for the cook
R.K. of Cool asks:
Q: I’m buying a large turkey for Thanksgiving, and so will probably have a fair amount of leftovers. What are some good ideas for using them?
A: You can change a Waldorf salad made with apples, celery and nuts by adding cubed cold turkey for a delicious main dish. Or substitute strips of cooked turkey for beef in making stroganoff. Or make kabobs of cooked turkey cubes, pineapple chunks and green peppers; baste under the broiler or on a grill with cranberry sauce.
A helpful hint
Ideas for leftover pumpkins…
Pumpkin’s popularity as pie has obscured its star quality for other dishes such as:
• A little cider vinegar, cinnamon and cloves turns peeled pumpkin chunks into tasty pickles.
• Simmered with apple cider and orange juice, pumpkins turn into a spread to rival apple butter. Fold the finely mashed pumpkin butter into whipped cream or Cool Whip and it becomes the perfect topping for gingerbread.
• Add pumpkin and raisins to yeast dough and turn out a sweet delicious raisin bread.
• Small pumpkins stuffed with ham salad or chicken salad, vegetables or seafood salads make an attractive lunch serving.
• Other features are that one cup of pumpkin contains just 75 calories and it is rich in vitamin A and iron.
