Turkey Chili update

Followed the same recipe as before. Turned heat down to 4 and covered time to 10 minutes, but took cover off at 7 minutes due to start of sticking.

Turned it down to 2 for uncovered time, and time to just 5 minutes.

Put it all into the 6 cup container instead of the 4 cup.

JoJo Rabbit

JoJo Rabbit, screenplay and directed by that guy who's name I can't pronounce from New Zealand that did Thor Ragnarok. Overall, I liked it. There were many ways a dramedy about Nazis could go horribly wrong, but he managed to navigate the storm. Spoiler warning: if you haven't seen the movie, I casually mention significant plot points you don't see in the trailers. You have been warned. Things I liked: * Focusing on the shoes of the hanged + the shoes of Rosie paid off well. * Stephen Merchant's nigh-inhuman, face-splitting grin. Perfect for Gestapo, reminded me of that guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark. * Took a predictable story arc -- JoJo's maturation from follower to independence -- and made the journey enjoyable. * WT's antics as Hitler: his dancing as JoJo raced through the forest; his swimming at the pool; diving out the window; all bundled up, fully clothed, in JoJo's bed. It added just the touch of absurdity the narrative needed to remin...

Turkey Breakfast Sausage

This is the turkey breakfast sausage I use for my morning oatmeal. Medium pan, with more oil than you think. One squirt per square inch about does it. Start heating it up on medium heat. About 1/2 tsp each - sage - white pepper - red pepper flakes - ground marjoram - poultry seasoning - salt Double up on the sage, usually. Maybe the peppers too. Mix spices into 1 pound of turkey. Mix it so the spices are well blended into the meat. Throw meat into pan. Let it brown for a minute, then start stirring it up. Want the browning to be through the entire mass, not just on the bottom. While mixing, break the meat into as small bits as possible. The final result should be "crumbles," not "nuggets." Should take about 5-10 minutes. When all meat is tanned, remove from heat for 5 minutes. Dump into a 4 cup container and into the fridge. Note: no sweetener is added. Save that for the maple syrup on the oatmeal.

Turkey Chili

This is the turkey chili I make for lunch. The large frying pan, again with more oil than you expect. Turkey needs the extra oil, I guess. A little less than one squirt per square inch works. Heat it up on medium heat. Once heated, throw one pound of ground turkey in. Use the spoon to make vertical grooves, then horizontal grooves. Ta da! You just made nice sized chunks for chili. Throw some spices on it. The smokey chipolte chili is nice, as is white pepper and onion powder. No measuring: make sure the chili covers everything, the others can be liberal as you're feeling. A heavy sprinkle of salt too. "Brown" the turkey -- not really brown, but more of a tan. Break up the larger pieces so it cooks all the way through, but the goal is chunks not crumbles. Once the meat is cooked -- no pink showing, but not as done as with the breakfast sausage, about 5 minutes -- throw in rinsed pinto beans and fire roasted diced tomatoes. Then the sauce from Hak's One Pot...
