Last year I came up with this 'recipe' {{it's more of a method than a recipe}} for our staple cooking ingredient~the Ground Turkey. Lately I have had MANY requests for the method and decided to post this so I can just direct everyone here!
Ground Turkey w/ Veggies
Ingredients
2lbs Ground Turkey
2lbs Frozen Chopped Spinach
2lbs Frozen CHOPPED Broccoli
1lb Diced Onion {{I used frozen}}
1lb Shredded Carrots
EVOO {{I use spray}}
Yogurt Butter
Nature's Seasonings or Mrs Dash {{whatever I have on hand}}
Lightly coat the bottom of your pan with the EVOO and a few TBLS of butter.
Pour ALL veggies in pan, season, and then sweat them until soft.
{{I added a few extra pats of butter on top this time~see!?! Method~NOT recipe!}}
Depending on the size of your pot, you can add the turkey in with the cooked veggies or set the veggies aside. I opted to set them aside this time...
Brown your turkey in some EVOO and Yogurt Butter with a little more of your seasoning of choice.
Next, add all your veggies back in...
Give them a stir...
Let everything cool down and pack it all into four freezer safe containers!
Now, your Turkey w/ Veggies mix is ready to go for ANY recipe that calls for a pound of ground meat!
One reason that I like to call this a 'method' instead of a 'recipe' is because it changes often. I might cook 3 or 5lbs of turkey, which calls for a different amount of veggies. I sometimes get a 'wild hair' and play with the seasonings a bit. I often add petite diced tomatoes to have something ready for tomato based sauces {{marinara, sloppy joes, chili, etc}}.
When you are ready to use your mix, just defrost and go...ENJOY! ♥
