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! |
