Categories: Canadian, Wild, Game, Poultry
     Yield: 4 Servings

     2    Turrs
          Dressing:
     2 c  Fine bread crumbs
     1    Onion; chopped
   1/4 c  Margarine
   1/2 ts Salt
     1 tb Savory
   1/4 ts Pepper
          Gravy:
     2 tb Flour
          Pastry:
   1/3 c  Margarine
     2 c  Flour
     2 ts Baking powder
   1/2 ts Salt
 2 1/2 tb Water; cold

 Dressing:

 In a mixing bowl, mix together 2 cups of bread crumbs, 1 chopped
 onion, 1/4 cup of soft margarine, 1/2 ts salt, 1 tb savory, and
 1/4 ts pepper.

 Cooking:

 Clean the turrs and drain well. Stuff the turrs with the dressing
 and fasten with skewers. Place in roasting pan and prick the birds
 so that fat will drain off. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake
 about 1/2 hour at about 400 F to render off fat. Remove the birds
 from the oven and pour off the fat. Lower the oven to 350 F, return
 the birds to the oven, and bake for about 1-1/2 hours more. Remove
 the turrs from the roasting pan Add water to the roasting pan and
 make gravy by adding flour thickening.

 Replace bird in roasting pan and cover with pastry Bake for about
 20 minutes until brown.

 Flour Thickening:

 Take a small jar with a cover. Place 1/4 cup of cold water in the
 jar. On top of the water place 2 tb of flour. Place the cover on
 the jar and shake until the mixture is smooth Add to liquid from
 meat to make it thicker.

 Pastry:

 Cut margarine into flour, baking powder, and salt until the mixture
 resembles bread crumbs. Sprinkle in water, 1 tb at a time and mix.
 Gather the pastry into a ball and place on lightly floured board.
 Roll out the pastry to the correct size to cover the birds.
