That's good but no turkey (blech), and I much prefer pork to beef.
I'd not use chili powder either, nor would I add sugar. I think 6
pounds of meat is a lot unless it's a ragu... and I'd not consider
using preground I'd grind my own. I'd use like three pounds of pork
shoulder chops, often on sale as a family pack. I can't fathom turkey
for an Eyetalian sauce, actually I can't fathom ground turkey for any
use... maybe a very hungry possum or skunk might eat some ground
turkey, but more likely that's crow food. During a rough winter I
feed the crows cheapo hot dogs... I think they'd have to be very
desparate to eat store ground turkey, I know I wouldn't eat any, I may
bring it out to my back field but I'd just as likely dump ground
turkey into my pond as fish food.
