1 ½ cups dried black beans
1 ½ cups dried red kidney beans
1 (16 ounce) can sweet potatoes
3 cups dry lentils
1 lb ground turkey
2 lbs chicken gizzards
2 ½ cups brown rice
2 ½ cups white rice
2 cups oats
1 lb frozen spinach
12 lb frozen carrots
12 lb frozen peas
2 cups blackstrap molasses
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
¼ cup flax seed
3 cups powdered milk
1 banana
¼ cup soybean oil

1
Cook the beans and the rice until they are nice and soft.
2
For this step, I usually use a slowcooker-add beans, rice, and enough water to cook(this filled up mine completely, so I really didn't bother to measure.)
3
No soaking necessary, just let them cook for about 4-5 hours.
4
Mince chicken gizzards.
5
Again, gadgets make life easy here-I recommend a food processor.
6
Pour soybean oil into a very large stockpan.
7
Add gizzards and turkey.
8
Simmer until meat is cooked.
9
Add lentils, oats, approximately 4 cups water(I eyeball this also), and simmer until lentils are soft, about 15 minutes.
10
Add everything else, simmer til veggies are heated through.
11
Mix beans and rice with meat and vegetable mixture, put in large container to go in fridge or divide into smaller portions and freeze some for later.
