Publix Kosher Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week's plan keeps things kosher and meat-forward while leaning on real Publix sale items to stretch your dollars. You'll start Monday with roasted Publix Chicken Leg Quarters alongside fall hard squash and Brussels sprouts, then move into Tuesday's ground chuck meatballs simmered in marinara over pasta with a side of spinach. Wednesday brings a quick ground turkey and broccoli stir-fry over jasmine rice, and Thursday is your special-occasion night with a slow-braised chuck tender roast alongside potatoes and carrots. We close out the week on Friday with light, fresh ground chicken breast burgers paired with a Publix Salad Kit, so you get a nice mix of hearty sheet-pan dinners, stovetop meals, and one slow-cooked centerpiece without repeating the same protein twice.
