Let me find my thing. Okay, we're going to turn this on. Maddie, be careful now
0:53
This is going to be hot over here a little bit. Yeah, we're going to stay down here so that we don't touch the stove, okay

All right. And you can put one piece of bread. We're going to start with two tablespoons of oil
1:03
and today we're using pure cottonseed oil. Daddy? Yes, babe. Could I help
1:07
Sure. I want you to put the turkey down in here. Can you do it without splashing
1:13
Um, okay. Or you want to stir it up for me? How do I do this? Okay, here's how we're going to do it
1:18
We'll take our spoon, and we'll break it up a little bit, and we'll set it down in here so it doesn't splatter
1:24
Okay? I don't have any more? What's your brother doing? Is he getting the bread ready
1:28
He's getting the bread ready. Okay, Jack, let's break this up. And when we get this broken up
1:35
we're going to put some salt and pepper on it, okay? Okay. And we're going to brown this off
1:39
and we're going to cook it down a little bit with some brown sugar that will give it that sweet and savory that I love
1:45
We've got some tomato sauce. We've got a little bit of Guinea's house seasoning
1:49
and a little bit of Worcestershire sauce. And we're also going to put in purple onions and red peppers
1:55

2:25
and he was in my bed last night. Well he wanted a snuggle buddy right Because we have a bulldog I want him to sleep with me Champ our English bulldog is 10 years old and he not a snuggle buddy
2:40
He's way too big. He was before we had kids, but then we kicked him out
2:45
He got the axe. Okay, Jack, let's see. Okay, we're going to put one grain of salt
2:50
All right, let's put some silverware down. In about 15 minutes, we'll have this salted. It'll be perfect
2:54

Are you being silly? Let's get all this mixed together. And we're going to slow cook this
6:25
I'm going to put the lid on it. That looks good. Yeah, it's going to tighten up and it's going to be so good
6:30
And then we're going to serve it on our soft bread. And this is what it looks like
6:34
