Basic Ground Meat Seasoning

I used to love my ground beef! And I can season a burger so it's yummy and flavorful. So what happens now that I use ground turkey or ground chicken?? I can STILL rock that flavor no problem ;)

This is my basic seasoning mix for ground meat specifically. I use other flavor combos for my fish, full chicken breast, etc.

I like my spices if you can't tell! But really, the biggest surprise to me over any other spice was Cumin. I had never had it before and now I don't know how in the world I never used it before. To me, Cumin IS hardy meat flavoring and totally makes my ground meat taste like meat in my opinion.

I will say: depending on what I'm putting the meat with, I do add spices accordingly. Like if I'm doing a "pasta" dish, then I throw in basil, too. Mexican? Definitely throw in the red pepper! It all depends on taste. "Sausage" gravy (totally not healthy)? Yeah, my ground turkey easily compares to the real thing!
