Five turkey meals for $10

The holidays are a great time to buy whole turkeys because grocery stores tend to put them on sale for less than a dollar per pound.  If you know how to prepare it, you can feed a large number of people in one setting (i.e. dinner with extended family) or create 4 meals for a smaller group -- both of which are great ways to eat well and save money!

We just bought a 12.31 pound turkey at $0.79 / lb for $9.72. That is cheap protein right there!  Below are the four nutrient-rich meals that we plan to enjoy from one bird.  Click on the links (coming soon!) for recipes.


Here is our first meal: roasted turkey!
1) Roasted turkey + mashed potatoes + turkey gravy + steamed broccoli

2) Turkey enchiladas

3) Turkey vegetable soup

4) Turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread w/ spring mix lettuce, sliced tomato, avocado, mayo, and mustard

5) Bone broth = good for your bones
