Cooking the Savoury Mince
Transfer the innards back into the turkey. Add the onions, garlic, and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until some caramelization has taken place and the beef is fully incorporated with the onion and garlic. Pour off any excess fat so that your dish isn’t too greasy.
Adding Vegetables and Flavor
Add the chopped carrots and bell peppers and cook for a couple more minutes. Add the peas, the Worcester shire sauce, and the tomato paste, and stir well to combine the ingredients.
