5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Pork Italian Sausage with Sauteed Mushrooms and Brussels Sprouts
Description: Sliced Publix Pork Italian Sausage is browned in a hot skillet until caramelized, then tossed with tender sauteed baby bella mushrooms and halved Brussels sprouts for a hearty, satisfying low-carb dinner for two. The natural fat from the sausage bastes the vegetables beautifully, keeping everything rich and flavorful without any added starches.
Sale items used: Publix Pork Italian Sausage (Mild or Hot, 20-oz tray) at $5.69, Publix Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (8-oz pkg) 2 for $4.00, Brussels Sprouts (pkg) 2 for $5.00

Serving note: Use approximately half the 20-oz sausage tray (about 10 oz, or 5 oz per person), 1 pkg of sliced baby bella mushrooms (8 oz total), and 1 pkg of Brussels sprouts. Save the remaining sausage for another use or freeze it. Net carbs per serving are well under 10g.

Description: Seasoned Butterball ground turkey is cooked in a skillet with garlic, cumin, and chili powder, then spooned into crisp iceberg lettuce leaves and topped with diced vine tomatoes and shredded Publix cheese for a fresh, protein-packed low-carb meal for two. The cool, crunchy lettuce cups make a perfect low-carb vessel that keeps net carbs minimal while delivering big flavor.

The second turkey tray and second head of lettuce are not needed this week - buy only 1 of each unless you want leftovers. Net carbs per serving are approximately 5-7g.

Meal: Garlic Butter White Shrimp with Broccoli and Carrots
Description: Large white shrimp are sauteed in a generous garlic butter sauce until pink and tender, then served alongside steamed broccoli florets and sliced baby cut carrots for a light yet satisfying low-carb seafood dinner for two.
