We prove that, for any finite set of minimal r-graph patterns, there is a finite family $\mathcal F$ of forbidden r-graphs such that the extremal Turán constructions for $\mathcal F$ are precisely the maximum r-graphs obtainable from mixing the given patterns in any way via blowups and recursion. This extends the result by the second author [30], where the above statement was established for a single pattern.We present two applications of this result. First, we construct a finite family $\mathcal F$ of $3$-graphs such that there are exponentially many maximum $\mathcal F$-free $3$-graphs of each large order n and, moreover, the corresponding Turán problem is not finitely stable. Second, we show that there exists a finite family $\mathcal {F}$ of $3$-graphs whose feasible region function attains its maximum on a Cantor-type set of positive Hausdorff dimension.
