Potted Meatballs : page 71
We really liked these baked meatballs. If you use kosher ( salted) chopped meat, omit the salt. Meatballs have a strong onion flavor- so you won't like these if you dislike onions.
To shape the meatballs, I pat the mixture into a 9x13 inch pan. Then I score the meat into squares- I make a lot more than the 18 meatballs specified by the recipe. Then I form each square into a round by rolling it around in my hands and then I put the meatball back into the same pan. (Do this until all the squares are formed into meatballs..) Bake as directed. Nice with rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
I serve the meatballs as a main dish- but they could be an appetizer too.

Roast Turkey : page 114
This is a great Turkey recipe although I never follow it to the letter. I also never make the stuffing.
I use the 5 tablespoons each of onion powder, garlic powder and paprika( no, this is not a typo!), which I mix together in advance. If you are using a salted, kosher type turkey, omit the salt in the recipe. I rub this dry rub on the turkey and roast it, breast side down for the first hour*, then remove turkey from oven, turn it over and add 2 inches of cold water to the pan. Continue to roast the turkey, breast side up for the remainder of the cooking time. Baste occasionally- cook until done. It makes a well seasoned, delicious roast turkey.
* If you cook the turkey breast side down for much longer than one hour, the turkey might be too hot to flip over.
