I'm tired my my same ol' dishes so I decided to undertake a immense task of gorilla pantry cooking:

Ingredients:
2 lbs 94% lean ground turkey (you can use pork or chicken as well)
5 carrots, peeled and diced
5 stalks of celery, diced
Bacon grease (you can use another kind of oil but bacon makes everything good)
1 Tbsp 5-spice powder
1 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
Salt to taste

Method:
1. Heat the bacon grease in a pan
2. Add vegetables. Cook until tender.
3. Add ground meat. Be sure to break the lumps up.
4. Add seasonings.
5. Cook until the meat is no longer pink.
6. Serve with rice, noodles, or on its own (paleo if eaten straight)
I had mine served over buckwheat noodles in miso soap, garnished with dried seaweed.

Enjoy my easy, lazy pantry dish! Kid approved :)
