Chi Chi Goetta

2.5 cup Steel Cut Oats, dry
4.0 cup Water bottle w/ filtered water
32.0 oz Turkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean
10.0 tbsp Onion (raw), chopped
1.0 large (2-1/4 per lb, approx 3-3/4" long, 3" dia) Sweet peppers (bell)
4.0 tbsp Ortega taco seasoning mix

Instructions Place the broth, oats, water, peppers, onions and taco seasoning in a large pot.  Bring it to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's soft and the liquid is absorbed.   Add the meat.  Return to a boil then reduce to low, cover and cook for another hour, stirring occasionally.   If the liquid has not all been absorbed, remove the lid and continue to cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened. Pour and press the mixture into 2 (9x5) greased loaf pans and let cool completely.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.   To serve, cut into thick slices, at least 1/2 inch (otherwise they'll fall apart; I cut them inside the pan, if you invert the whole thing it will be very messy), and fry them in batches in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat without any oil.  Again, do not use oil, use a dry, non-stick pan.  Fry them on both sides for 4-5 minutes or until browned and crispy on the exterior.  (See blog post for 5 Keys To Goetta Success.)
