I am now looking for some time savers. So, I am now preparing ground Meat mixtures suitable for a variety of recipes.

• Ingredients
  
• 1 lb Ground Turkey Breast (a lot of ground turkey includes the dark meat)
  
• 1 lb of lean ground beef (here in Lexington, we have a local brand Laura's)
  
• 1 Pint mushrooms
  
• 1 c diced onions
  
• 1 clove garlic
  
• Cooking Spray

1. Dice the mushrooms
   
2. Spray pan with cooking spray and sauté minced garlic and onions
   
3. add the meat
   
4. brown and cook meat
   
5. toward the end of the cooking process add the diced mushrooms
   continue cooking until meat is done.
   
6. Drain well in colander.

I'll use this mixture for spaghetti sauce, taco/burrito filling, or wherever I need some meat.
