Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Turkey and Black Bean Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Description: One large russet is baked until fluffy, then stuffed with seasoned ground turkey and black beans. Topped with sauteed onion, it is a hearty, filling dinner for one.
Sale items used: Butterball Ground Turkey, Publix Black Beans, Publix Russet Potatoes, Publix Yellow Onions
Prep time: 70 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 large russet (the bag gives you extra for Thursday), 1/3 lb ground turkey (half of one pack, about 0.66 lb total in the pack; freeze the rest), 1/2 cup drained black beans, and 1/4 onion. Bake the potato for 55 to 60 minutes while you cook the filling in about 15 minutes. To save time, microwave the potato for 8 minutes, then crisp it in the oven for 10 minutes. Check that your black beans and spices are labeled gluten-free.
