Notes
Ground meat is one of the most versatile proteins and works well in bowls, salads, wraps, sauces, or paired with vegetables and complex carbs. This method works well with 90% lean ground beef (ideally grass-fed), ground turkey, or bison. It also works with ground chicken, though it may need 1–2 extra minutes for thorough cooking.
*Coco’s favorite flavor twist: Instead of salt, add a small splash of soy sauce, plus generous onion powder and a sprinkle of cumin while cooking. It adds depth and umami without needing extra sauces.
