Preheat skillet over medium heat and add cooking oil or bacon grease.

Add onions or other vegetables and saute, using the spatula, until tender or the onions turn transparent. Some popular scrambled beef and turkey complements are garlic cloves, celery, mushrooms, bell peppers and carrots.

Spread the ground beef or turkey on top of the sauteed vegetables. Stir the meat into crumbles while it cooks, breaking up lumps. Continue cooking until the meat is thoroughly browned all the way through with no pink remaining.

Add any dry spices to the skillet and blend completely into the vegetable-meat mixture. Use salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder, cayenne, dry soup mix or whatever combination of spices you have on hand.

Strain out all the remaining grease from the skillet to remove as much fast as possible.

Add sauces to the skillet, as desired. You can use a quick store-bought hamburger sauce, Worcestershire, barbecue sauce or gravy or a favorite sauce recipe. Use only enough to flavor the meat and avoid creating a soupy texture. Stir the sauce into the beef or turkey mixture until blended and bubbling.

Serve the scrambled burger as is, in a bowl without a bun, or layer on buns topped with additional sauce, some ketchup, mustard or cheese
