Weekly Meal Plan for January 5th 2015

We have some great recipes for you to try this week that will feed your family 6 meals for just $52.10!  We’re using ground turkey in a couple of recipes because right now lean ground turkey is more affordable than lean ground beef.  There are also some great Jennie-O coupons for this week at Walmart.  They are for turkey breakfast sausage but trust me when I say that the sausage will substitute great in these recipes!

Weekly Meal Plan for January 5th 2015

Meal 1 – Cheesy Turkey Burger Casserole – Like I mentioned, ground turkey has been quite a bit less than lean ground beef lately so we’ve been stocking up.  There are also coupons this week for ground turkey breakfast sausage and the light seasoning in the sausage works well in the Cheesy Turkey Burger Casserole.  We’re making Turkey Burger Tacos later in the week and to save yourself time, you can brown all the turkey burger for both recipes at the same time.  Separate the burger for taco night and refrigerate until you’re ready to use later in the week.  You can always add a bagged salad to this casserole if needed.

Meal 2 – White Chicken Chili – We’ve tried lots of different White Chicken Chili recipes and this one is really easy, really delicious, and inexpensive and quick to make.  It’s a family favorite.  Grab a package of rolls or garlic bread to go with this great chili.  There is a coupon this week at Walmart to save $1.00 on any 2 Hormel Premium Chunk Chicken Breast Products.  You can also save .55 on a jar of La Victoria Salsa with coupon this week.

Meal 3 – Turkey Burger Tacos – Our family loves tacos and if you browned up extra burger earlier in the week, toss it in your skillet and add your seasonings for a quick dinner.  This recipe calls for more taco meat than you’ll need for one meal so the extra can be used for the Taco Pasta tomorrow.

Meal 4  – Taco Pasta – This dish is cheap, easy, and good.  This recipe is a little different than the one I’m linking to because we’re using up left over taco meat rather than making it specifically for this dish.

Meal 5 – Marie Callendar’s Family Size Chicken Pot Pie – This is a delicious pot pie and is on sale this week at Walmart for $8.97.  This is a great price and grabbing an extra to keep in the freezer for a quick meal another time isn’t a bad idea.  Add a bagged salad to make this meal quick, easy, and complete!

Meal 6 – Breakfast for Dinner – This is always a favorite for us.  It’s low fuss and filling.  Again, the Jennie-O coupons at Walmart this week let you pick up turkey bacon or turkey breakfast sausage for an even better price than normal.  Make pancakes to go with your choice of meet.
