1 serving (medium) of Ground Beef Mixture (120 g) has 252 calories. That works out to 210 calories per 100 g. It contains 4.8 g of carbs, 22.2 g of protein, 16.2 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 2.5 µg of B12 covers 105% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Ground Beef Mixture is minced beef combined with seasonings and often onion, ready to use as a filling or in a cooked dish. The exact blend varies by recipe; across Turkish cooking, seasoned mince is a familiar base for börek, pide and gözleme, as well as some stuffed vegetables.
Once cooked, it is savoury and tender, with the onion and spices adding depth. It is usually browned in a pan before being tucked into pastry or flatbread, though it can also be cooked with vegetables or served alongside them. With 18.5 g of protein per 100 g, it is a protein-rich component; for a lighter filling, choose leaner mince and add finely chopped vegetables.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A ground beef mixture is minced beef combined with ingredients such as onion, herbs, or spices for a recipe. Some recipes use the term for plain ground beef, so check whether the mixture is already seasoned before adding more.
Season a ground beef mixture with salt, pepper, and the herbs or spices suited to the dish. Onion, garlic, cumin, and paprika are common choices, but add them gradually so the mixture suits its intended filling, sauce, or patty.
For pastries and stuffed vegetables, cook a ground beef mixture first when the recipe calls for a precooked filling. Let it cool before filling pastry so it does not make the dough soggy; other recipes are designed for raw filling to cook in the oven.
A ground beef mixture releases liquid from the meat and any vegetables, especially onion. Crowding the pan traps steam instead of browning the meat, so cook in batches in a wide, hot pan and avoid stirring constantly.
Raw ground beef mixture keeps for 1–2 days in a refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or colder. Store it sealed on a low shelf to prevent drips from reaching other food, and freeze it if you will not cook it in time.
Yes, a ground beef mixture can be frozen. Pack it airtight in meal-sized portions and thaw it in the refrigerator before cooking; do not refreeze it raw after thawing.
A ground beef mixture works in meat pies, stuffed peppers, pasta sauces, tacos, and savory pastries. The right seasoning and whether to brown it first depend on the dish, so use the recipe’s instructions for the filling.
Break a ground beef mixture into small pieces as soon as it goes into the pan. Use a wide pan, avoid overcrowding, and keep separating the meat with a spoon while it browns.
Cook a ground beef mixture to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Check the thickest part with a food thermometer, since browned color alone does not reliably show that ground beef has reached a safe temperature.
Yes, you can cook a frozen ground beef mixture, but it will take longer and may cook unevenly if left as a solid block. Break it apart as it softens in the pan and check that the whole mixture reaches 160°F (71°C).
