Turkey Kielbasa with potatoes and peppers

A lot of people think that eating healthy is expensive but it doesn't have to be. I wanted to start a weekly thread showing that eating healthy doesn't have to cost a lot and can be delicious too! My first post, Wallet Friendly Wednesday-Turkey Potato Dish is one of my go to dishes.

This dish is easy to make and cooks pretty quickly. There are two ways to make this dish, one from all fresh ingredients and the other from frozen vegetables.

I opted to make mine from fresh ingredients since I already had most of the ingredients at home. Oh and if you haven't already noticed there are a bunch of pictures in this post and that's because I found a cool little feature on my phone where it will focus in on a point in the picture and blur out the rest, so you've been warned.

And a close up......

Add some onions

And another close up 🙂

Personally I like to eat 6-7 small meals per day so this is a perfect lunch portion for me.

Now to the part that you are waiting for...How much did this cost???

• 6 red potatoes $0.90 ($2.99 for a 5# bag at Aldi's)
• 1 14oz Jennie-O Turkey Kielbasa $2.50 (on sale at Publix)
• Yellow and Red bell peppers $2.29 for the 2 pack (Aldi's)
• 1 Sweet onion $0.50 ($2.49 for 5)
• 1 Jalapeno pepper (fresh from the garden)
• Rosemary (fresh from my herb garden)

The recipe serves 5 with a cost of $1.24 per serving

You can substitute the fresh pepper and onions for Birdseye's frozen onion & pepper mixture (this goes on sale all the time at local super markets). You can also substitute the fresh red potatoes for frozen sliced red potatoes to cut down on the cooking time.

So for less than 5 Quarters you can have a delicious, colorful, and healthy meal and since there are 5 servings, this is perfect to bring to work and re-heat for lunch.

• Next dice the onion, and peppers (I removed the seeds from all of the peppers but you may keep the seeds of the Jalapeños if you like your food on the spicier side)
