3 Done	Add meats and spices and continue to cook for another 12-15 minutes.
4 Done	Cut bread slices into cubes and pulse in food processor on low speed to get a fine crumb.
5 Done	Transfer meat to a colander to drain any excess liquid, return to pan; add bread crumbs and parsley.
6 Done	The filling is now ready to be put into an unbaked pie shell, covered with pastry and baked in a convection oven at 375°F for 35-40 minutes. (conventional oven 400°F)
