Hello Jerry,

Corn nuts are made by roasting or frying seasoned kernels of sweet corn that've been soaked overnight in water. See:

Hello Carley,

Turkey Spaghetti

Dear Phaed,
 
You were so kind last month to look up a recipe for me.  Thanks so  much.
 
This recipe was in a Good Housekeeping Cook Book that I got in 1959 when I  
got married.  I've never seen another one like it.  It's so great for  post 
holiday left-over turkey.
  
   Turkey Spaghetti  (no tomato sauce)  

With the holidays coming up, most of us have left over turkey.  This  is the 
best easy recipe I've ever found for that--doesn't taste like  leftover at all 
!!!  (You can use chicken.)
 
 Cut up turkey or  chicken
 1/4 cup minced  onion    
 1/4 cup minced green  pepper
 1 tsp.  paprika
 1/4 cup chopped pimento  (optional but good for color)
 12 oz. thin spaghetti 
 sliced ripe olives (to taste-the recipe called for 1/2 cup)
 1 1/2 cup grated process American cheese (I've  used other cheeses)
 canned  chicken broth if you don't boil chicken or turkey from scratch
 
 If boiling meat, measure broth & add enough  water to make 2 quarts 
(Otherwise use canned broth & stretch with water to 2  quarts.)  In skillet, brown 
onion, green pepper and paprika until light  brown.  Add to broth with pimento 
and cut-up turkey.  Heat to  boiling.  Add spaghetti.  Cook uncovered 15 to 
20 minutes or until  spaghetti is tender.  DO NOT DRAIN.   Add olives & 1 cup  
cheese.  Heat well.
 
Serve on large, deep platter or serving dish.  Top with rest of  cheese.
 
Makes 8 to 10 servings.  
 
Thanks again,
