As Bear and Ranvaig have addressed Gwen Cat's translation of 20
pre-1600 turkey recipes from Rumpolt (1581)", I will just mention that
there are also numerous turkey recipes in the English canon.
A very quick search taking just seconds on medievalcookery.com reveals
these--
A Book of Cookrye To make sauce for capons or Turky Fowles
To bake Turky Fowles.
The Good Housewife's Jewell To baje a Turkie and take out his bones
A NEVV BOOKE of Cookerie To bake a Turkey
And we have a great variety of art featuring the turkey too. See
Eiche, Sabine. Presenting the Turkey. The Fabulous Story of a
Flamboyant and Flavourful Bird. Florence,
Italy: Centro Di, 2004.
