Notes
Extra Servings, Extra Value
This recipe makes more than four servings, making the overall cost a bit higher—but each serving stays around $1.25 or less. Save extra portions in the fridge or freeze them to enjoy later.Change it Up
- Replace turkey with lean ground beef, chicken, cooked lentils, or white beans.
- Use turmeric instead of Italian seasoning.
- Add diced bell peppers to Step 2 and corn to Step 5.
- Try substituting ground venison. Add a little oil or butter while cooking, or mix in moisture-boosters like sautéed onions, a splash of broth, or even a spoonful of tomato sauce to keep it tender and flavorful.
