This Is Brian’s and Chrissy’s Weeknight Meal Hack

The sheer number of things we have to remember each day is astounding.

So, it's probably no surprise that sometimes we're scrambling to make dinner plans. Not only is take-out not always that healthy, the costs add up, too. We've both turned to The Great American Turkey Co. for fast, tasty (and healthy!) meals on busy nights.

The Great American Turkey Co. offers fresh turkey cutlets and strips come in 12-ounce packages and pan-ready portions, already marinated in great flavors such as Olive Oil & Herbs, Smoky & Sweet Chili and Tomato & Basil, and more. They also have delicious turkey sausage flavors including Apple Maple, Cheddar and Beer, Smoked Mozzarella and Broccoli Rabe, and more. And it's all available now at Price Chopper in Albany and the Capital Region.

In Chrissy's house, her 8-year-old Ryan loves to help cook and they often are looking for turkey options as a healthier alternative to red meat. All Great American Turkey Co. products come raw, but their ready-to-cook portions make it easy for younger chefs to take the lead in the kitchen.

Chrissy and Ryan made the Apple and Maple Turkey Sausages together and he loved the flavor.

Or, if you have a picky eater, like Brian has at his house, you can reach for The Great American Turkey products knowing a good amount of the prep work already has been done, so fixing multiple meals is more manageable.

It took Brian no time at all to brown up the marinated turkey strips. He tossed a little olive oil in a pan, added the Olive Oil and Herbs marinated turkey, and they were good to go in maybe 4 minutes. The adults used the turkey as tasty protein in big salads, while Brody ate the strips all by themselves along with some mac-n-cheese and fresh fruit. It was a hit with the whole house!

If you are feeling a little adventurous, The Great American Turkey Co. has great recipe ideas, too, like this Smoky & Sweet Chili Turkey Steak Quinoa Bowl:
