I need to reinstall an OS onto a completely empty mid 2009 MBP. I can make the MBP a target disc from a Mac Mini with the El Cap installer on board but when I run it how do I direct the installation to the MBP rather than the Mini? Or is there a better strategy?

That's a great strategy. When you run the installer it will ask for an install destination and you will tell it to install on the MacBook Pro. Easy peasy.
