Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Wings with Roasted Zucchini and Grape Tomatoes
Description: Crispy oven-baked chicken wings are seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and olive oil, then roasted alongside tender zucchini coins and sweet grape tomatoes for a naturally gluten-free one-pan dinner. Everything comes together on a single sheet pan, making cleanup easy for a solo cook.
Sale items used: Farmer Focus Fresh Antibiotic Free Family Pack Whole Chicken Wings, Zucchini, Cherub Grape Tomatoes 10 oz pkg
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes bake time

Slice half of one medium zucchini (about 0.25 lb) and use half the grape tomato package. Make-ahead tip: pat wings dry and season them the night before for crispier skin and faster weeknight assembly.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Turkey and Zucchini Rice Bowl
Description: Lean ground turkey is browned in a skillet with diced zucchini, garlic, and gluten-free tamari, then served over a bed of fluffy white rice for a satisfying and protein-packed bowl. This quick weeknight meal uses leftover zucchini from Monday and a portion of the large ground turkey package.

Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Cook approximately 6 oz (just under 0.5 lb) of ground turkey from the 48 oz package; refrigerate or freeze the remainder in portioned bags for future meals. Use the remaining half of the zucchini from Monday (about 0.25 lb). Serve over 0.5 cup dry white rice from pantry. Confirm tamari or soy sauce used is certified gluten-free.

Thursday
Meal: Grass-Fed Ground Beef and Grape Tomato Lettuce Wrap Bowl
Description: Organic grass-fed ground beef is seasoned with cumin, garlic, and chili powder, then pan-cooked and served bowl-style over rice with halved grape tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
