Reunion Recipes

Here are a few recipes from the goodies at the Reunion:

Exotic Turkey Salad (Una)

I usually roast a hotel style turkey for this. The proportions don't seem to matter, but I'll give them anyway.

4 cups cooked turkey, diced
10 ounces water chestnuts, sliced
1 cup celery, chopped
1 pound seedless grapes (may substitute pineapple chunks)
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tbls soy sauce
1/2 tsp lemon juice

small can Mandarin oranges (optional)

Combine all ingredients. Serve on lettuce or in sandwiches.

Serves 8-10

Walnut Glory Cake (Jenni)

3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
2 t. cinnamon
1 t. salt
9 eggs, separated
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 t. vanilla
2 c. (8 oz.) finely chopped walnuts

   Sift flour with cinnamon and salt.
   Beat egg whites in large mixing bowl until soft mounds form.  Gradually add 3/4 c. sugar.  Continue beating until very stiff, straight peaks form.  Do not under beat.
   Combine egg yolks, 3/4 c. sugar, and vanilla in small mixing bowl.  Beat until thick and lemon-colored.  Fold batter gently but thoroughly into egg whites, using wire whip or rubber spatula.  Fold in nuts.
   Turn into ungreased 10-inch tube pan.  Bake at 350º for 55-65 minutes.   Invert immediately.  Cool completely before removing from pan.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar or glaze with chocolate.
