Ground turkey
While poultry, in general, can be rather affordable, ground turkey really shines as a budget-friendly choice. You can often find one-pound packages for just a few dollars. Select Vons stores are currently selling this one for $3.99, and I’ve found this exact variety on sale for $1.99. Four ounces of the stuff (roughly the size of a standard burger patty) yields 22 grams of protein. There are so many things you can do with this food, like add it to chili with kidney beans, season it for taco night, or make meatballs for a spaghetti night that’s light on the red meat.
