5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Wings with Cauliflower Rice and Avocado
Description: Crispy baked chicken wings seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder are served alongside fluffy cauliflower rice made from fresh cauliflower pulsed in a food processor and sauteed in olive oil. Sliced avocado adds creamy healthy fat to round out this satisfying low-carb plate.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh whole chicken wings (family pack, $1.99/lb), Cauliflower ($2.49 each), Avocados ($3.49/pk of 4)
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.75 lb of chicken wings for 1 person, costing about $1.49. Use roughly one-quarter of the cauliflower head for one serving of cauliflower rice. Use 1 avocado from the 4-pack. Wings bake at 425F for about 40 minutes; while they bake, prep and cook the cauliflower rice so everything finishes at the same time.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Pork Loin Chops with Pesto and Blackberries

Wednesday
Meal: Ground Turkey and Cauliflower Skillet with Cheddar
Description: Lean ground turkey is browned in a skillet with garlic, onion powder, and crushed tomatoes, then mixed with chopped cauliflower florets and simmered until tender. Shredded sharp white cheddar is melted over the top for a rich, cheesy finish that keeps net carbs well under 20g.
Sale items used: Butterball fresh all natural ground turkey 93% lean ($2.99 each), Cauliflower ($2.49 each - remainder from Monday), Milbona sharp white cheddar cheese ($1.87 each), Tuttorosso Hand Crushed tomatoes ($1.96 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use the full 16 oz package of ground turkey; cook half for this meal and refrigerate the other half for another use, or cook it all and save leftovers for lunch. Use roughly one-quarter of the cauliflower head (the second portion from the head bought Monday). Use 1 to 2 oz of cheddar shredded on top. Use about 3 to 4 tablespoons of crushed tomatoes; the remainder keeps refrigerated. The crushed tomatoes count as the second allowed flavor item this week.

Meal: Chicken Tenderloin Lettuce Wraps with Cottage Cheese Dip
Description: Seasoned chicken tenderloins are pan-cooked until golden and wrapped in crisp romaine or butter lettuce leaves for a fresh, handheld low-carb meal. A side of Daisy cottage cheese seasoned with a pinch of garlic powder and black pepper serves as a creamy, protein-rich dipping sauce.

Use about one-third of the 24 oz cottage cheese container as the dip; the rest keeps in the fridge for snacks through the week.

Friday
