This is an easy, and inexpensive recipe.

Cabbage Stew

1 lb. ground turkey $0.79
1/2 head cabbage, coarsely chopped $0.60
1 can tomato paste $0.33
1 can diced tomatoes $0.59
1 can kidney beans $0.33
----------
$2.64
Brown turkey in a 4 qt. pot, no need to drain. Stir in tomatoe paste, add
in chopped cabbage, tomatoes and kidneys. Add a can or two of water, and
any seasonings desired. (We use pepper, garlic, and a bit of ground
cayenne). Cover, and cook on medium heat till cabbage is tender.

This serves at least 8 good-sized bowls of stew. It feeds 3 adults twice in
our household. Served with a batch of 6 Jiffy corn bread muffins ($0.44
w/all ingredients), I can feed my adults a hearty meal for $1.54 ($0.52
ea.). I call this frugal and convenient. :)

I hope this is helpful to someone else.
Hugs,
Trish in IL

This does sound good, esp in this cold weather. But who's Trish?

The canned tomatoes and included prices for each remind me of a story I figured I'd share:

It's funny - DH and I went grocery shopping today. Since he buys his own and I buy my own (to save the marriage, his sanity, and my health), this works great once every week or two. Redpak tomatoes were on sale at Giant Eagle, for $1 a large can. I had a coupon for 75 cents off. Typically, GE will double a coupon UP TO THE price of the item. For some reason, that scanning didn't work so they ended up PAYING ME 50 cents to take each of the 3 cans I got. He laughs because this is typically the way I shop. I got 3 cans of tomatoes, a loaf of the expensive Roman Meal bread, a frozen Tony's pizza, a large box of Van De Kampsfish fillets (frozen), 1 box of Klondike's SlimABear ice cream sandwiches, 1 lb imitation crab meat, and a large jar of Vlasic pickles. My bill was $7.50. Funny thing is, $5.99 of that will be a rebate returned to me! :yay: Retail value of my shopping: $26.50. Net spent: $1.51. God is sooo good! :D (I don't usually do that well).

One pound ground turkey for $0.79... wow, you're so lucky! I'll pay about $5 for one pound! Turkey is pretty scarce here, it's only for the last few months that I could actually get it in stores (we don't have Thanksgiving remember, plus Christmas is in the middle of summer so nobody cooks turkey then). So I substitute chicken in all turkey recipes!

We have a store called Aldi's that sells ground turkey for 69 cents. It is 12 0z., but compared to super market prices, this is what I buy. Ground meat has gone up (on sale) to $1.79 a pound, so this is when I do a lot of substituting. I bought 7 small turkey breats for .$89 cents a pound a few months back for the freezer. What a bargain!
