Great tip for freezing ground meat

I’m getting rid of some old magazines, saving only the articles I plan to reference again (and even those digitally). In my May 2010 issue of Real Simple I found a great tip for freezing ground meat that can also help with portion control. Basically you lay the meat in a ziploc baggie, press it flat, then use a chopstick to press “perforations” into it for as many sections if you want. A typical portion is 4 oz so if I had a pound of ground turkey I’d do four 4 oz sections.  Supposedly you can then just break off one section when you need it. I’m going to give this a shot the next time I pick up a package of ground meat at the store.
