Original 1900 recipe
Verbatim from the 1900 edition of the Cookbook for School and Home (Erken & Caroline Steen).

Roast turkey from Kogebog for skole og hjem (1900). A cleaned turkey is roasted in the oven for about 2 hours with 100 g butter and 7.5 dl meat stock, covered with buttered paper. The paper is removed for the last half hour, the breast salted. The juices are reduced into a sauce, preferably with truffle. Served with boiled apples and vegetables.

En klassisk høytidsstek fra rundt århundreskiftet. Teknikken med å dekke fuglen med smørsmurt papir er en tidlig variant av det vi i dag gjør med folie eller bakepapir: den holder på fuktigheten til brystet skal brunes helt til slutt. Trøffel i sausen var datidens luksusgest.
Prepare the turkey
Open, clean and truss the turkey. Place it in a roasting tray or pan together with butter and meat stock.
Cover and roast
Cover with white paper greased with cold butter (baking parchment works). Put in the oven and roast for about 2 hours. Baste often with the juices.
Brown the breast
Remove the paper for the last half hour so the breast browns, and sprinkle a little salt over it.
Sauce and serving
Reduce the juices into a sauce – with a little truffle if you like. Serve with boiled apples and vegetables.
