I cook a similar comfort meal for my family of 5. I call it 10 Minute Thanksgiving. I buy 1 pound of shaved low salt turkey, a box of Stove Top Sage Stuffing, a large packet of instant mashed potatoes, a can of sweet corn, a can or cut green beans, a jar of turkey gravy, and a can of cranberry sauce. 10 minutes on the stove (5 burners) and 45 seconds microwaving the turkey and we have a Thanksgiving meal for 5 of us for under $20.00 and my family loves it.

I’m not into canned vegetables unless I’m in dire straits (flashbacks to the 70s when that was all my family could afford), but I think I could do a twist on your idea using frozen vegetables instead. Might take a few minutes longer, but maybe it could be done. Probably would cost more than $20 unless I got the veggies on sale. Great idea, though! Who doesn’t love a 10 minute Thanksgiving meal? Thanks for sharing!
