Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week you get five different proteins across five nights, starting with Butterball Ground Turkey in a potato and spinach skillet on Monday and finishing with Bacon Cheddar Salmon Burgers over spring mix on Friday. Tuesday's chicken cutlets with broccoli and Thursday's top sirloin with mushrooms and peppers are quick 30-minute dinners, while Wednesday's pork picnic with Fall Hard Squash takes about three hours but mostly cooks on its own and leaves leftovers. The plan leans on naturally gluten-free staples like potatoes, squash, fresh vegetables and simple seasoned meats, so there are no buns or breading to worry about. Just check the salmon burger label for a gluten-free mark when you pick them up. A few small sale buys, like the Publix Spinach at $1.49 and the two jars of Sabrett Sauerkraut for $3.00, round out the week without much extra effort.
