$5 Dollar Meals - Turkey Biscuits
think this suggestion for a turkey biscuit dinner fits our criteria, as well as being a neat variation so our family will not get bored. We also love really simple recipes that do not cut into our busy schedules!
Turkey Biscuits
You need:
- 2 1/2 cups of biscuit mix (We use the low fat kind) – .50
- 1 cup of milk or plain soy milk (Actually vanilla soy milk is ok too because the biscuits can be slightly sweet. You can use skim milk too.) – .50
- 1 package of sausage (We usually buy turkey sausage) $2.50
- 1 can of beans – The store brand should be about .70
- 1 can of fruit or sliced up piece of in-season fruit – .70
According to our estimates, this meal should check in at about $4.90!
Simply use the biscuit mix and milk to prepare the biscuits according to the package directions.
Slice the turkey sausage into inch think slices. Dip them in the batter so the turkey slices are well coated and place them on a baking sheet. You may need to spray that baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray first. Bake these according to the biscuit package directions. As you bake them, the sausage will also cook, and these are great.
In the meantime, you can just prepare your can of beans and fruit.
The turkey biscuits make a great finger food! The beans and fruit keep this meal hearty and balanced.
