turkey mixture over mushrooms - or onions, pressing down firmly. Bake in
oven at 350 degrees - from a cold start - for 50 to 60 minutes. Notes:
Pimento can be left out. Dash or two of nutmeg can also be added. This
recipe creates lot of moisture in the pan, so let cool for 10 minutes to
firm up before removing from pan. Nutritional value using Meat Mate Food
