The squash can be stuffed ahead of time and reheated at the last minute, which makes this an ideal dish for a buffet. NOTE: For a fanciful presentation, "wolf" the squashes (cut them in half in a zigzag fashion).

For more flavor, double the herbs and double the strength of the vegetarian bouillon. Sprinkle hot squash with butter buds then fill. Spoon remaining stuffing in pan. Cut the time in half by precooking the squash in the microwave; finishing in the oven (375F 15 minutes). With a side vegetable or fruit, feeds 4. would make a good poultry stuffing.

'98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- *see below* This method is recommended only for small whole turkeys and turkey breasts. A Reynolds® Oven Bag is used to promote even cooking. APPEARANCE: Lightly browned with the use of a browning and seasoning sauce. Skin is not "crisp" but resembles microwave cooked chicken. ADVANTAGE: The fastest method for cooking turkeys weighing 8 to 12 pounds. HOW TO: SHAKE 1 tablespoon flour in a Reynolds Oven Bag. Use large size bag (14" x 20") for 8 to 12 pound whole turkey and 4 to 7 pound turkey breast. Leave flour in bag. Place bag in 2-inch deep microwave safe baking dish. REMOVE neck and giblets from both cavities of defrosted turkey. Rinse turkey, pat dry and brush with a combination of 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon browning and seasoning sauce. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika for additional color, if desired. Do not stuff turkey. SLICE 1 onion and 2 stalks celery; place in bag. Place turkey, breast side up, in bag on top of vegetables. Close bag with nylon tie; cut six 1/2-inch slits in top of bag. Microwave 8 to 12 pound whole turkey 7 to 9 minutes per pound; 4 to 7 pound turkey breast 11 to 13 minutes per pound on MEDIUM (50% power) rotating dish 1/2 turn every 15 minutes. (This method is not recommended for turkey over 12 pounds.) USE an instant-read thermometer after microwaving. Turkey is done when thermometer reads 180º to 185ºF for whole turkey or 170º to 175ºF for turkey breast. Insert thermometer through slit in bag into inner thigh, not touching bone; or, into thickest part of turkey breast. FOR easy slicing, let turkey stand 10 minutes after removing for microwave oven. To open, carefully cut or slit top of bag. NOTE: All microwave directions were tested in 600 to 700 watt microwave ovens. Lower wattage ovens may need some adjustment in microwave times.

'98 Wine Sausage Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 pounds turkey meat (light & dark) -- trimmed, chunked 1/2 pound high-quality pork fatback -- cut in 1" chunks 1/4 cup white wine 2 jalepeno chiles -- seeded and minced 2 teaspoons ground chipotle chile -- dried,seeded OR 1/2 canned chile chipotle en adobo -- rinse,finely chopped 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves -- finely chopped 2 teaspoons sea salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1. On a tray covered with plastic wrap, freeze the turkey and fatback for 30 minutes to firm. In a heavy duty mixer with a food grinder attachment, or food processor, grind the meat and fatback together in short bursts. It should be chopped in chunks, not pulverized. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat and fat with the wine, chiles, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix together by hand until well blended, being careful not to overmix or the meat will become warm and mushy. cover and chill for 2 hours, to allow the flavors to marry. 3. Form the mixture into flat patties, approximately 3 inches in diameter. Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Fry the sausage patties turning once until golden, about 4 minutes total. Drain excess fat from the pan as necessary. Briefly drain on paper towels and serve hot. Note: The trick to making superb sausages at home is to start with the right proportion of meat to fat then to keep everything - ingredients, bowl and grinder - ice cold. For a delightful sandwich, try serving these patties on toasted buns slathered with Romesco Sauce, or with strips of roasted red pepper and Red Salsa. Makes 12 patties.
