        black pepper, to taste
        garlic salt, to taste
        1 1/2 C. chicken broth
        butter or oil for greasing pan
        DUMPLINGS
        2 C. flour
        1 egg
        pinch salt
        4 T. ice water
        3 T. cooking oil
        PASTRY CRUST
        1 1/2 C. plain flour
        1/2 C. shortening
        3 T. ice water
        Place chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from saucepan and reserve broth. Let chicken cool.  Remove chicken from bones. Tear larger pieces apart. Line a deep, greased 10" glass baking dish with all the chicken pieces.  Next, bring reserved chicken broth to a simmer on medium-low heat. Combine flour, egg, salt, oil and water in a large bowl, stirring until mixture is the consistency of biscuit dough. Add more flour or water if needed. Pinch off small pieces and roll into balls.

        Old Bay BBQ Chicken ... This is a wonderful change to chicken!!!

        Roasted Turkey ... To those veteran cooks, this may seem silly but remember, you didn't know how to do this at some point. To those of you who are roasting a turkey for the first time, allow me to show you an very easy way to roast a turkey your family will love! The 2 biggest tips I can give you; 1. Do not mess with homemade stuffing the first time and 2. Get a Large Reynolds Baking Bag from the plastic bag section of your local grocer. These are tips that I wish someone would have given me!!!
        1 -2 canister Stove Top Stuffing
        2 -3 T. butter
        Reynolds Baking Bag, Large
        Pam or other spray oil
        1 T. flour
        Turkey, thawed (10 - 12 lb.. will feed a family of 4 for a week!)
        1/2 C. water
        Poultry Seasoning
        1 C. water
        Mix Stove Top and butter.
        Spray the inside of the bag with spray oil and dust with flour. Clear out the turkey cavities (both ends) of neck and misc. parts. (These gems are best used by placing in a pan of water and cooking off for gravy!) Place turkey in the bag, legs last. If there is a hook holding the legs together, remove it. Roll the edges of the bag down exposing the legs. Fill the cavity with as much stuffing as possible. Pour 1/2 C. water into Stove Top. Rub the turkey skin with poultry seasoning. Set the bag with turkey onto a broiler pan. Add 1 C. water to the bag, close with plastic tie and cut four 1/2" slits into top of the bag. Bake at 350* for about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. (Use the left over stuffing whenever needed!)
        This will sound strange but you will understand this in a minute. Place a medium size container in the sink. Lift the bag from the tied end and hold it over the container so that 1 corner of the bag is facing the container. (Now would be a good time for some help.) Cut about 1/2" off of the corner and let all of that wonderful broth run into the container. (Refrigerate the broth and skim the fat off. You now have the broth for Turkey Noodle Soup!)
        Lay the bag back onto the broiler pan. Cut it open straight down the top. If you are on a diet, refrain from eating the skim. If you are not on a diet, the skin is Chef's treat!!! Use 2 serving spoons and place stuffing into serving dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
        Pick off the turkey onto your serving platter; cover with aluminum foil. (I like to sprinkle a touch of broth over it for a little extra moistness!)
        Bring the waste can over, pick up all four edges of the bag and throw it away! Bones and all are gone ... just like that!!! (Make sure that your dogs can NOT get into the bones. These can splinter and kill the dog!)
        When everything else is about ready. Place the platter with the turkey and the bowl with the stuffing in the oven, do not remove the foil, for about 10 minutes at 350*. You have just successfully completed you first Roast Turkey Dinner! Worry about homemade stuffing next year!
