Best Cheap Meal $2 Walmart Turkey Stir Fry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- The $2 Festive brand Turkey meat makes a decent low-cost stir fry meal. I never cooked it before. The taste of the meat is mild but the texture is not as chewy as expected, as much of the meat has been separated and frozen. The addition of ginger, parsley, and garlic helped improve the flavor. The next time, I will add more oil or use a non-stick pan and add onions mushrooms, and maybe even some celery.
I had a failure with my egg noodle in the pressure cooker experiment. In the past, I have used a small pressure cooker to cook pasta and it is tricky, the water amount and time are critical. I will post my mac and cheese in a pressure cooker later to show you the results I get which may surprise you.

Hey Rob! I've used this same brand of turkey in the past and recommend adding a can of black beans or a handful of lentils along with taco seasoning or cumin It helps to simulate "ground beef" a bit better while adding extra proteins (and beans are still cheap...for now).
Thanks for all the vids - I have been enjoying them for years.
Brian those are excellent suggestions I'll definitely give them a try. Thanks so much for taking time to watch and leave a nice comment I appreciate it a lot and welcome aboard.
Hi Robb! I thought you was going to get a steam burn from the pressure cooker. Turkey is really a bland meat that needs seasoned well. A little extra ginger and garlic along with the soy sauce should help it. Looks good and the addition of onions and mushrooms are always good on everything.
Have a blessed afternoon!
I have been adding ginger to my tea for a long time but only recently started adding ginger to some of my food and I'm starting to like it.

If something is bland, I use my standard flavor enhancer. Onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Lots of it.
The heat is cancelled out reacting with the garlic and onion. The garlic and onion changes from reacting with the pepper.
The result is a savory salt flavor. Without or very little salt from some soy sauce.
@ I’m a firm believer in seasoning everything. Turkey, venison and other meats just don’t have the fat content that beef does and can be seasoned heavier. I do like onion and garlic powder chopsdd3.

There’s a place that sells bulk herbs and teas called Monterey Bay Spice Company.
You can get nearly every spice under the sun in bulk. Even onion and garlic powders and different heat levels of cayenne pepper. They even have frankincense and myrrh. Plenty of medicinal and culinary herbs. They even sell capsule tools to make your own herbal supplements.
The peppermint I bought there was just as fresh and good as Celestial Seasons in the fancy boxes. I believe I received a whole pound for the price of a couple boxes of boxed teabags. A fraction of the cost.
The shipping costs are high though. It’s best to make a large order to make it worth your while.
@ thanks so much.
I love stir fry. You can make so different every time you make it. You did good!!!
Thanks Deb I'm glad you liked it the Turkey meat was actually a little better than I expected
I wonder what the farmers are getting for beef right now.... Looked very good.
Hey Paul thanks so much I appreciate that. This was just an experiment I never cooked with this before. I'm working on some other recipes that are gonna be fun. I feel sorry for the cattle ranchers t's hard to get an accurate answer but it looks like the ranchers are not making very much money from the high beef prices. It looks like it's going to the meat Packers and distributors
You could make cabbage rolls with the cabbage and turkey
Hey pork chop that's actually a very good idea. I bet I could use the pressure cooker
Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉❤❤
Good Morning Sir🎉🎉
Hey thanks for watching and for the nice comment!
Thank you.
Hey minnie thanks for watching
Stir fry is so delicious Robb. And what you got there looks very delicious if i do say so myself. I bet it smelled great too!
Robb, I hope youve had a great new year so far. May the rest of 2025 be full of good health and happiness for you.
Hey Raka, thanks a lot for watching I think 2025 is gonna be great I hope you and your family have a very happy and healthy 2025 I'm having fun with the cooking videos that people seem to like the little pressure cooker videos more than some of my other ones so I may be making more of them.
Yikes! I came in late. What’s on the menu? Steamed Robb?😮 (looking pretty steam punk in the kitchen. It’s awesome.)
I’m kidding. I’ve been eyeballing that ground turkey. And yes, that is one glorious cabbage.👍
I just made way to many icebox pickled red onions. Nearly a whole three pound bag. I wish we were neighbors. I’m a little over stocked. But they are great with everything.
P.S. You can now get tomato paste in a tube like toothpaste!
It’s great if you need a little tomato without the sugars in ketchup.
P.P.S. The only way I’m going to be able to taste beef at over eight bucks per pound is to sneak up on a steer and bite it!
Thanks chops those onions would have been perfect

50% water 50% vinegar and a spoon of honey. I sliced up the onions and put them in a pan. Poured enough of the vinegar and water to cover them. Brought the mix to a boil and turned it off, removing the pan from the heat. As soon as it cooled enough to put into the fridge (a couple minutes )I put the lid on and refrigerated it. They were o.k. in a few hours , but the next day , wow, they are perfect. A little crunchy sweet and sour.
Try it with a small amount to see if you like it. I bet you will. Try one onion. It doesn’t have to be red. You can use the brine for another batch too.
The turkey woul be good in a egg roll in a bowl recipe, I think.
I didn't know what egg roll in a bowl was so I looked it up and you're right that would be perfect.
Man that pressure cooker made a mess this time.
Usually it does not make a mess unless the cooker is filled too high but I think today it knew it was on camera so decided to act up.😎
I throw some bacon fat in with ground turkey sometimes cuz it tends to b dry….
Bacon fat sounds pretty decent all I had was the olive oil and coconut oil
Another edible meal made quickly - yippee. Now if we can only get you to switch from adding those nasty olives and change them into sliced mushrooms (wrote this before you mentioned mushrooms) ... I have a tiny concern about that white spatula you are using to break up the food and hope you bought it in the kitchenware department instead of the hardware section. It reminds me of some of the putty spatulas I bought that are quite handy. Bad news though if it is not food safe, especially in a heated pan. Suspicious because cooking utensils usually have longer handles. 🙃
I'm still bristling about the latest scare on black cooking plastic spatulas made of unknown materials as some seem to have been deemed as a 'little' toxic when cooking with them (flipping eggs and stirring). We were encouraged to trash them to be safe if we do not know what they are made from (food-grade silicone is good). I lost 3 good spatulas that week.
Time to switch over to using wooden spatulas since they have a longer handle so you don't get splatters from the pan and also are stronger to separate frozen ground meats as they thaw in the pan. Here I am being the nagging wife again, but in my defense, your channel encourages us to share information so we can get beyond that 100 year life goal.
I actually made a video about black plastic cookware and the supposed dangers of it and before I post it I read another article about it that indicated the people that were getting upset over it misrepresented the study because it was not as bad as they claimed in the meantime I have put getting a wooden spatula on my list. The white spatula was a kitchen spatula that was left in the metal pan I normally don't cook using high heat but it was one of those days
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Glad to hear that. Was upset at myself for chucking out those black spatulas, but they were old and I have a lot of wooden and metal ones as backup plus one dark grey one made in Italy that I like.
I'm going to check out your black plastics video now since I'm not sure if I saw that one yet.
I have had so many years of product and food scares. Remember at one time we were warned about coffee, red wine, and water. Then it was the plastic the water bottles were in and small amounts of coffee or wine were fine. Aaaghhh. Can't even go back to cooking over an open flame with meat skewed on a stick because that is somewhat dangerous too.
I didn't post it because I was worried that maybe the information about the black plastic was a false alarm but I do try to use less plastic now I used to use a little plastic device to make eggs in the microwave but now I just use a ceramic ramekin and it's perfect. Just about everybody hates the microwave but I like to take a small dish and add a egg and some cheese and some cooked pasta and vegetables and a little meat if I have it and put it in the microwave for about two minutes and it makes a great little meal . Of course if we wait long enough someone will tell us how the ceramic dishes will kill us.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Thanks for letting me know. I thought I was slipping with watching your content because I didn't remember seeing that on your channel. Now I don't have to search later tonight.
I had the same concern that I should wait before throwing out things right away, but I saw it on a trusted site where logic and testing is in abundance, plus they were getting old. (RoseRed Homestead)
One of my subscribers John turned me on to the silicone prices at Walmart for $0.99. A lot of people are going to silicon kitchen accessories. The best thing to use on a skillet to clean the bottom is an old razor blade. They come in real handy.
I have deer hamburger that is probably more expensive than beef hamburger 😅
That's a pretty expensive deer hamburger you know when I was a youngster and I was broke I would make hamburgers stew with onions and potatoes and celery it was pretty good but I was pretty hungry
@@RobbsHomemadeLifethat sounds good to me!
No raisins ?😂😂😂😂
I don't think I've ever added raisins to Turkey but I thought about it😎
😂😂😅😁🤤
They're using your line of chef knives at 1:17 😂

Hey thanks so much for letting me know about that I just looked into it. I just left a link to my video where I made the knife it would have been nice if they had left a link to my channel in their video description. I'm glad I put my channel name on my knife now. Thanks again.
Not your best
OK but criticism without specifics is not helpful
@ presentation was great , as always, especially the laugh, but substitution of cheap turkey is never a good thing. Sometimes, searching for a little more expensive beef, would make all the difference in this recipe.
Hey thank you so much for taking the time to let me know about cure criticism I learn a lot from everybody and I'm always anxious to hear what people have to say. I know some people are going through some difficult times right now and I thought it would be good to try something really inexpensive and this is the least expensive meat protein I saw at Walmart. I was expecting the taste to be worse but was very pleasantly surprised by reading the ingredients and there was nothing in there but meat and Rosemary which is phenomenal when you consider how many food products we have nowadays that have 10 or 11 Frankenstein chemicals in it. I'm sure they used mechanical separation to process every part of the Turkey except the gobble gobble. But after it was seasoned and cooked up it was better than I expected although I didn't expect hardly anything there is a tiny bit of a taste that you get from mechanical separated meet where they have scraped the bone and now you can actually tell there's something in there other than meat but I'm not arguing with you I agree the beef would be much better it's just it's so expensive right now where I'm at I thought I'd give this a try I'm going to be doing some more low cost meals that will be using some inexpensive ingredients especially when they don't have a lot of processing or chemicals added. Let me know if there's something special you'd like me to try cooking and I would be happy to do it if I can.
Good enough for me.
