What to Do with Ground Turkey (or Any Ground Meat!)
Start with Sloppy Joes, but sautee extra ground turkey so you’ll have the fixings on hand for two bonus dinners this week: Ground Turkey Enchilada Stir-Fry with Couscous and Three Bean Chili.
Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork and Beyond
The juicy meat is ideal in a simple sandwich, but it can be repurposed into Pork Tacos and Penne with Pork Ragout from Giada De Laurentiis.

More Meatballs, Please
My family like a dinner of Baked Turkey Pesto Meatballs, and after that, I transform leftovers into two more meals that work for either lunch or dinner: Italian Wedding Soup and Pesto Meatball Pockets.

You Can't Have Too Many Roasted Vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots — whatever vegetable is your favorite can turn into a super-simple side dish when roasted. And don't be afraid to use the frozen stuff if that's easier! Afterwards, use whatever is left in new ways, think a Roasted Vegetable Frittata or Breakfast Sandwiches with Eggs, Veggies, Cheese & Ham, or Roasted Vegetable Chili with Cornbread Biscuits for dinner.

Bonus: Breakfast Becomes Lunch
