What to Expect

This week at These Old Cookbooks, we are serving up delicious meals that Grandma would approve!

We are starting the week ahead by preparing a turkey breast in the crock pot.  This is a great meal for the weekend; set it and forget it.  Then, use the leftovers later for a second meal.  We’ve planned to make Turkey Crescents using diced leftover turkey breast.  Typically, we use canned chicken but this moist turkey is the perfect substitution.

Here’s a helpful hint to make sure your turkey breast doesn’t get dried out.  Use a digital thermometer to set the desired temperature to 165 degrees F.  The thermometer will notify you when it hits the temperature. No overcooking your meat!

Another favorite strategy that we use through out the year is to make huge pot of soup over the weekend.  Then, take the leftovers for lunch or eat it again later as a second meal.  I love how the flavors of soup get better as it sits in the refrigerator.  That’s exactly what happens to our Low Calorie Cabbage Soup. It’s a bonus that it’s good for your waistline too!

Weekly Meal Plan, Week 27

Saturday: Slow Cooker Turkey Breast and Italian Green Bean Salad

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast is a simple and easy way to serve up a juicy turkey breast every time.  With only six ingredients (turkey breast, butter, salt, pepper, onions and garlic), it's an easy recipe to make any day of the week, not just for Thanksgiving. 

Sunday: Low Calorie Cabbage Soup (makes leftovers for the whole week) and Cheesy Garlic Biscuits

This healthy Low Calorie Cabbage Soup is perfect after a weekend of indulgence because while it is full of vegetables it is also full of flavor.

Monday: Turkey Crescent Bake (use leftover chopped turkey breast) and Easy Pan Fried Zucchini

Chicken Crescent Bake is a casserole that can be made using canned chicken or leftover shredded chicken.

Tuesday: It’s Taco Tuesday! Flank Steak Taco Salad and Velveeta Black Bean Dip

Velveeta Cheese Dip with Beans is the perfect game day recipe.  This cheesy Queso dip is taco flavored and full of ground beef and black beans. Serve with tortilla chips for the win!

Wednesday: Mom’s Hamburger Gravy.

Mom's Hamburger Gravy is our go-to dinner when we are short of time and starving.  The ingredients are probably already in your refrigerator and pantry, and you can have dinner on the table in 20 minutes flat.  

Try your hand at making homemade biscuits with these 2 Ingredient Cream Biscuits from The Country Cook.

Thursday: Island Sweet and Sour Pork.  Serve over white rice.

This Island Sweet and Sour Pork dish is sure to be a family favorite dinner when served over a bed of rice.

Friday: Slow Cooker Beef Vegetable Soup with Bloody Mary Mix.

This Slow Cooker Bloody Mary Beef Vegetable Soup recipe is hearty and delicious to warm your belly on a cool winter night. It's one of the fix it and forget it recipes that will be ready to eat after a long day at work. 

You survived the week. Let’s celebrate with a Frozen Pumpkin Dessert.

Frozen Pumpkin Delight Dessert is a combination of pumpkin and ice cream that is sweet and delicious.
