Shepherd's Pie :
this was all Commercially prepared ingredients :
in the past I CSO'd a slab of ground turkey , from TJ's
as it was approaching the ' Eat Me Soon ' date , as i had to get it done
so , I took this idea a little further :
ShadyBrookFarm ground turkey 83 %. said by the company to be dark meat , vs the 93 %
which is mostly white meat. the packages are 22 or 24 oz , so thicker.
above , flipped out of the plastic container , and Penzey's Chicago Steak Seasoning on the top
15 min. CSO , 350 F steam.
added a jar of commercial Turkey Gravy. this jar was Heinz.
into the jar I added 1/2 T Bell's seasoning ( Vac'd and Fz pre thanksgiving )
a few drops of liquid smoke ( Wright's ) and a few drops of RB40.
shook the jar vigorously to distribute . no pan needed
added commercial mashed potatoes , right out of the
package. there are two brands ( at least ) in my area . this one , and the other one .
Ha Ha. ' Family size ' :
back to the CSO 350F steam 30 minutes
moved it up in the CSO for Steam Broil.
the potatoes are quite stiff right out the the refrigerator , so Ill ' cut them up ' a bit more
next time , right in the container .
I was surprised how tasty this was. remember , Im looking for ' easy '
next time Ill try the Mushroom gravy ( Jar'd )
and brown the top more in the CSO
the temp of the meat was 160 f when i took it out
pre browning . Ill try for 140 - 145 F next time.
as has been said here , from time to time
" Ill just get my coat ....'
