T-day alone
« on: November 21, 2018, 07:12:34 PM »
My son is off at school, so it's just me. Instead of doing the whole turkey thing, I got a turkey 'loaf'. I think I've had it long ago and it was pretty tasty.
Off I go to Safeway, and picked one up. They were all 3 lb'ers so I just grabbed one. They weren't priced, but were in the turkey section, so I figured they'd be reasonable. HARDLY! I got home and the receipt said 15 bucks. $15 for white and dark scraps meat glued together? Lesson learned the hard way...  >:(

So now I have 3 lbs of scrap that I don't think I can get 3 meals out of. What else can I do to use up some space in the Jr.? I'm thinking of a corn and green bean casserole. I'll just wing it.

After looking in the pantry, it hit me. I wonder if I could take a can of corned beef hash, squeeze it outta the can, and smoke it? :-[
For a buck 50, I'll try most anything.

It should be interesting at the least. If it falls apart, I can still fry it and use the gravy the loaf came with.

Can you roll it up in a mat?

This.  This right here has the makings of greatness!  I think it'll do fine if you roll it up in a mat like Bent said.

How did you do on your cook?
Sorry to hear you spent Thanksgiving alone, it was several years ago but I was out of town and away from family, just made the next one super special.

WoW! Talk about losing track...

I rolled it up as tight as could be with ought deformation (had to push the ends back in).

It completely broke down in cooking. Not that that's a bad thing... just not what I was hoping for. It had a good smoke profile, but no crisping at all.
Not sure that's even possible in retrospect. Honestly, I think there was too much fat for smoking purposes (holding shape wise).

It was tasty though.

I think the next round will be mixing it in with some meat loaf. THAT should be interesting.
