For Ground Meat Recipes:
In crockpot, cook equal parts ground beef with ground turkey (+ spices), as well as shredded carrots, chopped onions and peppers, for the following recipes:
- Spanish rice
- Lasagne
- Hamburger soup
- Italian job
- Sausage salsa potato bake
- Turkey tacos
- Taco salad
- Helper Mac & Cheesy Burger Bake
- Spagetti Bolognese
- Leader's pie
- Chili turkey (chili base)
- Meat Lovers Pizza/Pizza Salad
For Meatloaf and Meatballs:
Mix 3/4 ground beef to 1/4 ground turkey (+ spices), and to keep moist, mix in bread crumbs instead of crackers, fresh chopped onion in stead of onion flakes, and shredded carrots for more moisture + healthier way to stretch meat. Add an egg for every 1/2 lb of meat and add ketchup or bbq sauce for a little additional flavor.
Form meatloaves (I find mini-meatloaves best for reheating purposes, just slightly bigger than the size of my fist) and meatballs, bake, then flash freeze (this helps them stay frozen individually and not stick to each other, so not everything has to be thawed together). I wrap the meatloaves in tin foil and seal in a ziplock bag, meatballs I just freeze in ziplock.
