Burgoo for Two

This recipe from the Local Palate gave a number of options for the meat (pork, chicken, turkey, rabbit).  I chose turkey, a small piece of raw turkey breast.  I baked the turkey in the toaster oven for 15 minutes, and it shredded perfectly!  Here's the rest of what I put in it:

 Today I traveled to Maryland to take my Mom to chair exercise and lunch at the Tri-Towns Senior Center.  They do a great job.  Eating and exercise are so much more enjoyable with company!
