My son, who will be a senior in college and living off campus, wants to learn how to cook.  This is actually more about survival than bonding or leveraging my knowledge.  But I will take it.  I want to teach him some basics that can carry him for awhile.  By teaching the basics of browning meat, I have set him up for a few things including a simple spaghetti with meat sauce.

Recipe
Tacos – ground turkey:

1. Heat a skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 lbs ground turkey and brown, remove from stove and drain
