I am disabled as a result of multiple TBIs. Frequently I faint or dissociate so I can only use things that turn themselves off (I caught my kitchen on fire twice because I suddenly forgot I was cooking and just wandered out of the kitchen.) The microwave is how I prepare almost all my meals. So thank you for thinking of those of us with disabilities in your videos. Disability often intersects with poverty. You come across as very conscious of this in your videos. Your content is incredibly valuable. Thank you.
So sorry to hear about you disability. I'm disabled too, but since I also have to cook for my husband I don't have the luxury of microwave cooking. Hope you get better soon.
Praying for you. Lord, I ask that you provide GreyMirror with health and all the sustenance she needs. May you be with her tonight, Lord. Thank-you for your grace and mercy. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
As a disabled person, both physically and mentally, I REALLY appreciate you considering these things in your videos. Most people don't, and some go as far as to bad mouth "easier" methods. I make the rolls from scratch in the dough machine, but the stuffing, gravy, and mashed potatoes are "instant" varieties. I just simply don't have the ability, energy, time or money to hand make every part. Thank you for caring and knowing that if you think it's silly: maybe that's because it's not for you! 💜
I have no clue how many times I’ve been told Well if you’re too lazy to even do that I can’t or nobody can help you Sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it If I could just do it I would Sad part is it’s usually family I hear it from When you’re dropping things and almost passing out just preparing something to go into the microwave a pan of boiling water to make potatoes isn’t safe I’m glad too that she is considerate of different difficulties people might have and not condescending about it
Those mashed potatoes are SO much better than the frozen dinner ones. That is a beautiful dinner and giving complete Thanksgiving vibes!!And this microwave dinner gives you so much more food. Thank you, Rebecca!!
This is fantastic. The fact that you can get two Thanksgiving meals (or in my case, probably closer to four) out of $10 is incredible enough on its own, but to have everything be microwave-friendly is the icing on the cake. If you substituted canned turkey and a can of vegetables, you could box everything up to give away at food pantries or other charities, too. I appreciate your ability to think creatively about people's food challenges. You are a huge blessing!
The canned turkey would also be easier to chew than the smoked turkey although some people have difficulty with opening cans that don’t have a pull tab to open Every once in a while I’m not strong enough to open even those cans It’s definitely a great option for food pantries that can’t store perishable food to give out 🥰
I really enjoyed your recent microwave frozen turkey dinners recently, but WOW, you knocked it out of the park with this dinner. I am widowed and live alone and, although I spend Thanksgiving with my grown kids and grands, I am tempted to get everything you made today for a later dinner when I'm alone. In fact, I think the portions are so generous that I could make at least three meals out of everything. You are just a blessing to those of us who live on a budget yet want delicious and nutrious meals. Diane in NC
Yes, so much more food than the frozen meals! And your choice of veggie! Great job! Youve really CARVED out a niche for yourself (ha ha little thxgiving joke there!).
So many good ideas here! One plus of filling plates is that it makes people feel pampered yet helps make sure everyone gets some of everything. (Talking more about feeding a larger group). A+ video! Have a great week!
For those of us who do have to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner because of large families, can you do a video (or 2 or 3, lol) on how to make budget meals out of leftovers that isn't just turkey sandwiches? So many of us would love that! Plus, you are the queen of budget meals and after spending all that money on the meal itself, we'll need lower cost ideas to turn those leftovers into something. 🙂
You could try what I refer to as a Thanksgiving pot pie/cottage pie (I haven't figured it out what I call it yet, lol.) I create a stuffing pie crust (bake a little on its own to crisp it up before filling it.) Then depending on the leftovers you can layer turkey and vegetables with thin layers of gravy between to keep it moist, or alternatively, depending on how much is left just make a filling of turkey bits, vegetables and gravy. Top that with mashed potatoes (like a cottage pie). Bake to warm through and create a brown crust on potatoes (top with cheese the last five minutes if you'd like.) You could actually create the pie in lieu of a Thanksgiving dinner too, with deli or canned turkey meat.
You did it again! A tasty, hearty holiday dinner, that was easy to prepare. Thank you for always thinking about all your viewer, those of us that have access to a full kitchen as well as that don’t.
Rebecca: OK Challenge Accepted!! Then you proceed to running it to a touchdown too. Great Job Rebecca!! I love how you even included that this would be great for those like me who are disabled and physically challenged (stroke survivor & in a wheelchair). This was exactly why I wanted to see a better microwave Thanksgiving meal cos most of my family is down South & I usually pick up 1 of those frozen dinners you tried (Banquet) for mine. Altho I've done other creative ways using my toaster oven too. Thanks for taking on the challenge & totally winning it. Mission Accomplished!! 🎉
Thank you Violet! I am always so happy when someone I curate the video for, who I believe would directly benefit, comments and let’s me know if it would work for them! Mission accomplished certainly and I hope you have a lovely thanksgiving dinner
@@DollarTreeDinners- I'm on SSI-Disability so this $10 budget really fits into my budget. Only thing I want to add to this would be Candied Yams, but for $5 I think I can get a can of sweet potatoes or yams, and mini marshmallows. $15 would still make a great Thanksgiving meal idea. I'm already making up my grocery list now. Thanks a bunch!!
I’ll definitely be needing this! $10 is my grocery budget on my best weeks and the problems from having to pick and choose when I eat vs. when I take some of my meds have been especially overwhelming lately as I’ve been more sick than usual since June. I can stretch a meal for ‘two’ over an entire week, and this looks way bigger than what I usually end up making when I’m left to my own ideas haha. I’ve just never really seen real meals in my life so when I get to the store if money allows, I pick out A ProteinTM and A VeggieTM and something canned for the week…but then I don’t have any idea what to make so every meal is turkey with rice, a pepper with rice, or plain black beans/chickpeas. One pan, one bowl, one meal. I just really wanted to thank you because so many of the other ‘low income cooking/cleaning’ channels I follow base their videos on $50-100 budgets and that’s a pipe dream for some of us! I won’t name them, but a cleaning channel just put out a video on what their shopping trip would look like on a budget and the ‘budget’ was $100 before tax! I’m definitely bookmarking this to rewatch later. Hope you’re having a manageable day so far! ✨
I understand what you are talking about choosing between meds n food. I’ve been doing that for years n now have breast cancer again n my ins doesn’t pay much on my chemo. So it’s really tough now. This meal will last me days. I pray things change for us soon.
Well this dinner sounds delicious I never thought about using the turkey legs instead of buying a whole turkey because there's only two of us that are going to be eating. 😋😀🐓🧑🍳👩❤️👨🦃
@jasond.b-w. THIS particular channel is GREAT for $ saving meal ideas, but remember, there are other You Tube channels out there also that specifically target those with VERY low grocery budgets and even 1 or 2 person households!👌 Nobody in this country should have to choose between FOOD or MEDS.....please check out resources in your area that offer food pantries (if you’re unsure where to go, just dial 211 which will give you a lot of information for your general area, or you could even call local churches and ask if they have listings- they should be able to point you in the right direction) Best wishes for a JOYFUL holiday season! BLESSINGS from Maine❤️
Working at Walmart I get the little pies on my breaks. The pecan is excellent warm & I remove the foil pan but put the pie back in the box to microwave for 30 seconds 😋
You did a really excellent job with this one, and I love how thoughtful you are about people's means, whether it's financial, kitchen set-up and appliances, or physical and cognitive limitations. Those white soup plates that you served on are really lovely, too. (I wanted you to pop the plate that you microwaved the brussels sprouts in on top of the bowl you put them in to keep them warm.) Smoked turkey legs are not a regular grocery item where I am in Southern Ontario, Canada, and a quick google for local stores that do carry them (like kosher shops) shows me that they range from $7 and $12 per pound!
I have some major challenges right now so I need food to be easy, affordable and of course tasty. I'm so glad your channel ended up in my suggestions. I'm hooked! You're helping me a lot. I appreciate all your content, thank you. This meal looks delightful and easy! ❤😊
I love how you consider people who may have to rely on non traditional means to prepare meals...especially your wonderful holiday dinners! God bless you@
Even for people who have less restrictions in the kitchen, sometimes the effort to whip up an entire meal from scratch can be exhausting. I cook 95% of the dinners in our house and I don't want to spend 20-30 minutes cleaning, peeling, chopping and cooking potatoes whenever we have them. I love instant potatoes because they are really good when done right and super easy. I love watching your videos for inspiration and ideas. You have such a calm speaking voice.
I honestly think it's so sweet and thoughtful that you show how to make meals for people who maybe can't use a kitchen or struggle with traditional cooking. You're a good person.
This is awesome for single people and disabled persons, and even those who dont want to cook 😂...I agree the Turkey and gravy packs would have been better but overall u did a great job in giving people ideas on how to enjoy a Thankgiving meal on a budget..LOVE IT!!! ❤
There seems to be enough turkey, gravy and dressing to make turkey bowls the next day with perhaps the addition of another package of potatoes and a can or frozen package of corn or green beans. I look forward to a next day leftover bowl as much as I do Thanksgiving
I love how you are so thoughtful. Gearing meals towards those who don't have a kitchen or have a disability is a wonderful service. God bless you for your kind spirit. ❤️
That looks like a perfect preview of my Thanksgiving dinner, except I'll have turkey breast and broccoli with cheese sauce for my veg. It'll be a nice dinner for my little brother and I. Thank you Rebecca! ❤ Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
I almost did broccoli but that’s such a standard vegetable for me, I don’t eat Brussel sprouts very often so figured I’d switch it up. Now if they sold a small green bean casserole I’d be set 😂
The increase in quality for the same price as microwave meals is insane! And its honestly not much harder than microwaving two or more frozen meals in a row. I'm fortunate enough to have more available to me than a microwave for cooking, but its so good to know that there are tasty, filling, alternatives for people who need it! Also, I'm so surprised to know that Food Lion has smoked turkey legs. I've never seen them there before, but I'll have to try them out!
This was a great video, thanks for caring for people who have different options. . I haven't been able to find the Banquet Turkey and Gravy for awhile. Aldi brand stuffing mix is very cheap and I actually like it better than the brand. The vanilla ice-cream caramel sundae from dollar tree (the one that's rather bland) - it might be nice to take one and divide it over the warm apple pies. Heating the turkey: sometimes with cooked meat this helps. Heat the gravy first. Put the meat in and let it just sit and warm up, then heat it. This requires less heating time which is good bc sometimes meat gets tough in the microwave. I live alone on an extremely limited budget. Small kitchen. I try to cook this way. It's easier than scratch and much cheaper and better than prepared meals. Plus leftovers!!! It's very important for people alone not to say, "It's only me, I'm not gonna bother." Do bother, you are worth it. Just bc you are alone doesn't mean you are not worth a celebration.
@The3Storms Me too. I'm learning to cut corners where I didn't know there were corners. I got really excited the other day when I found a machine where the air for tires was free. I was like well, I can get something at the dollar store!!! I've always considered myself to be grateful and being poor is way less than fun, but I do appreciate things way more than I used to.
Thst was awesome!! The $10 turkey dinner looked so good, and the perfect amount of food was more than adequate!! Very creative staying in budget!! Nice presentation ,too! Have a great weekend!! See you next video 😊
I really appreciate these types of videos! My daughter & her bf are living in a "fixer-upper" house, working on it as they go, and currently don't have a full kitchen - just a 3/4 fridge with tiny freezer, a microwave, and an air fryer. Just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to this and love sharing your videos with her!
Jenni-O used to have a precooked rolled turkey roast in a pan that was really nice, but I haven't seen then in years. If anyone else can find them they would be a great alternative for a small family for Thanksgiving.
Trader Joe's has had one the past few years. Not sure on the cost these days. They also had like a precooked breast you could reheat I brought for a work event in 2019.
This is a perfect dinner!! All the essentials are there. Everything actually looks tasty and filling. You're doing amazing work by sharing this kind of stuff ❤
I have gained so many good ideas from you, I have friends in the nomad community, some by choice, and some due to financial limitations. You remind all of us that you can have the nostalgia and thankfulness without feeling like a victim. Love that!
Thank you for this, my family is skipping out on Thanksgiving again this year so I think I’m going to make this meal for myself so I’m not missing out on comfort food! Easy, cheap and simple! Love you’re content!
My family is fortunate enough to have everything we need as far as food and food preparation goes, I still very much admire your ability to be creative with food and think outside the box for everyone's needs and certain situations.
I love your videos so much. Not only do you give people great low cost ideas, you present them with such kindess. This meal is a fantastic option for so many people!
I love that you took the time to show the possibility of using a microwave to make a filling, hearty & delicious thanksgiving dinner. Great job as usual.
Girl you are my hero. I’m going to get this today n make it today or tomorrow. I love smoked turkey legs n wings. I’m having chemo for breast cancer again n I’m weak so this will be easy. Thank you
I love your videos. They are incredibly valuable to those with budget constraints or disabilities. That looks like a fabulous, festive, Thanksgiving dinner.
HOME RUN!!! Excellent 👍 job. I love how you include seniors and people with disabilities in your thought process. I'm one of those who can not stand for long periods of time in the kitchen anymore.
I understanding and empathy you have an all of your videos is unparalleled anything ever seen on CZcams. These are not only informative and exciting to watch but I know that you give a lot of people a lot of hope. I think I saw in a video that your dad had passed but he and your mother must be insanely immensely proud of the caring and compassionate person that you are
You did great on this! It's definitely an alternative for ppl who only cook for one or two ppl! It's very cost effective, and you won't be having to eat Thanksgiving leftovers for weeks to come. I really enjoy watching your channel! I constantly get great ideas from your content. Thank you! I think that you ALWAYS do such a wonderful job with your shares! I haven't been disappointed with anything that you've shared so far. Have a blessed day!❤😊
Eating Turkey for weeks or figuring out different ways to enjoy eating Turkey over and over again is certainly the downside to buying a whole Turkey at thanksgiving for a small family 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed this small thanksgiving dinner
Thank you for your content. I may currently be able to still prepare meals in a full kitchen. But you never know when that might change (health, finances, and emergency) I put all your ideas to memory. I may also meet someone in day to day living that needs help navigating a kitchen situation. You really are one of the best on CZcams to show true understanding and compassion.
Will anything else work if we don’t have chopsticks? Every time I make soup or tea I literally have to leave the room until it’s done because the popping and banging in the microwave makes me panic myself into a blackout lol. I’d love to know how to stop it from doing that
Sam's has a wonderful rotisserie chicken for about 5 dollars. If someone didn't care if it was chicken instead of turkey and was willing to add another few dollars to the budget, that would work great as well! We typically actually go with rotisserie chickens instead of roasting our own turkey on Thanksgiving. We prefer chicken to turkey anyway, and it saves SOOOO much work and money! Instead we can focus on all the fun sides!
I love that idea! Sams club can be counter productive, once you factor in the membership fee and limited physical locations, but a rotisserie is usually fairly inexpensive most places albeit not as large as one from a wholesale club
I have sometimes, not often, but occasionally, seen grocery stores do a large turkey breast in the bags similar to how they do the rotisserie chickens! Definitely keep an eye out for those, I don't know if it's random or if it's more around Thanksgiving, but I have had them before and remember it being great!
Rebecca, your dinner looks so much better than every one of the frozen dinners you tried! And now you have leftovers for the classic Thanksgiving sandwich: turkey, stuffing and mayo! You could also replace one of the desserts with a can of sweet potatoes for just a bit of additional nostalgia. Thank you for this terrific, budget version of a holiday meal!!!
You may not realize how much you help people with your content. You present it with such grace, class and kindness. May God continue to bless you and your channel.
Excellent job!!! I appreciate the fact that you are thinking of those who do not have access to a 'regular' kitchen. I am also disabled, both physically and mentally, but I love that you are thinking of us too!
That looks FABULOUS. This could be a new series. Pick a frozen food dinner and see if you can recreate it at home for $10! Love your videos. It gives me great ideas for meals.
Excellent informative video...there have been many times I could've used a budget friendly Thanksgiving meal plan. Being single and disabled I'm usually pretty good at stretching a $. I have to admit your Thanksgiving meal plan has never come close to crossing my mind. Thank you so very much for sharing! Have a wonderful Holiday season...
I dont need to shop at dollar tree...but for whatever reason your videos pop up in my feed! And i love them! I am so happy you give people options and ideas if this is is the resource they have. Much respect for you, and I feel like you help many people!❤
I have lived alone for many years, and occasionally buy frozen dinners. I have found that adding some instant mashed potatoes to the runny potatoes in frozen dinners really helps. Plus, it greatly improves the taste.
Great comparison to the frozen dinners and GOOD TO KNOW! Making it was still super easy and fast, so I would choose this over the frozen dinners. THANKS for another great video and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving yourself!!
It's incredible, yet once again, that you've found another way for us to make another delicious holiday dinner, and for 10 bucks. That really allows almost everyone to be able to have holiday dinner, just amazing!
Really nice ideas and presentation! I’ve done something like this when we couldn’t meet family for Thanksgiving dinner. Oscar Meyer has some really nice thick deli sliced turkey (not smoked) in the cold cuts aisle that’s a good alternative as well. They are on sale often.
Mmmm all looked so good and very affordable. I love how you consider food insecurity it's a real thing especially holiday time when we need to feed our families on a budget. Very thoughtful of you bless your contribution 🙏🏽
This looks really effective for the price. Even someone with disposable income does not always need or even want a full turkey so the legs are a great option for solo people or couples. Thank you for the video.
A tip for when you're heating things up and you don't want them to dry out but you don't have a dish with a lid: Put one or two wet paper towels over the top of the dish. This helps create and trap moisture within the dish. I use this to steam veggies, heat leftover chicken, and steam frozen dumplings in the microwave all the time!
We are a family of 3. I like the idea of turkey legs to save money and not running the oven for hours at a time. If funds permits, broth can be substituted for some or all of the water when making stuffing. Then you don't really need to add butter or oils.
Not sure if everyone knows this, but many supermarkets have the loyalty cards which uses a point system. As you shop, you accumulated points. At this time of year, they often offer using those accumulated point for a free turkey, ham or turkey breats. This was our savior many Thanksgivings. Thanks for another awesome video!
Omg!! Pecan pie is the best pie in the world and i love every aspect of it. The yummy flavor of a toasted pecan with that yummy goo and flaky crust!!! Heaven!!!
Since my wife's stroke, I do all the cooking in our home. I have a full kitchen with all the appliances I could want, but I do like to use the microwave when possible because it is cooler to use it, in the summer, than the range and oven. That's why I appreciate your approach in these videos. I just want to point out that you can use large worn out towels, that might otherwise be thrown away (or can be acquired at thrift stores), to wrap around each element of your meal to keep them hot as you prepare the next part of the meal. That, I have found, is the real challenge of cooking in a small microwave, having everything warm at serving time. With a larger microwave, you can put everything in at the end and ZAP it together for a few minutes. Not so with a little one. I have baked Saran wrapped Russet potatoes in the microwave and then rolled them up in a towel and got a physical steam burn pealing the plastic wrap off 20 minutes later. Towels are great insulating "cozies". I've noticed that when I use the storage lids on the "microwave safe" cookware, even when it's quality name brand cookware, while I'm actually cooking, the plastic soon breaks down and the lids split and stretch and deform and are no longer useful as storage seals on the containers. For that reason, I use Plastic Film to cover the cookware while it's in the microwave. The lids seem to last much longer that way. It would have been a jaw dropper if If to had plated this meal up on the same plates you used in that frozen dinner video and then do a split scene with each of those meals! I use smoked turkey legs, exclusively, to season Pinto beans (one leg per pound of dry beans, shred the meat after it gets tinder and starts to fall off the bone) I had no idea that you could heat them in the microwave and eat them like a caveman(or woman)! You were way more delicate with that "Flintstone" leg than I could ever be. 😆
This is fantastic. I work as a DSP, I support adults who are IDD. This dinner is so simple and straightforward that must folks I support could independently do this or with very minimal supervision.
Just want to also add, I loved the frozen turkey dinner video, I will be trying the Banquet one, but think I will skip on the others!! Mealy stuffing I can do without-I think that was one of the Marie Cullendar ones! Thank you so much for being a taste-tester for us, saving us time and money by doing it for us, so we can make our own choices, based on what your findings are. You really are amazing, just love all of your videos, your thoroughness and attention to detail in explaining things is very much appreciated and makes it so easy for us to follow ourselves what you do in your videos.
I also want to suggest using à crockpot. I got a turkey breast at a food bank once and I cooked it in a crockpot with gravy on top. For my sides I used the microwave like you did. I also made a coolwhip pumpkin moose no bake pie. I like how versatile you can make this meal. It's just lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Your plate looks delicious 😋 I have never thought to steam the stuffing. What a great tip. I do not like mushy stuffing 😒 Thank you for sharing this 🙏 My stove and oven are broken and I can not afford to fix it yet 😢 So, I cook what I can in my Crockpot and Airfryer. So this is what I'll serve for Thanksgiving this year. I know my husband will be absolutely happy with it. I spend my holidays cooking and feeding our community homeless, Veterans and needy residents. So, I am at the food pantry and soup kitchen on the holidays, all day. I don't like to eat there, since I feel like it's taking a plate away from someone who may not have anything to eat. So when I get home, I'm hungry 😋 This year our income declined, so we are on a tighter budget. I can definitely set aside $10, for our Thanksgiving meal. If I'm frugal and watch the sales adds, I can also pick up a can of corn, green beans and cranberry sauce 😋 My local Kroger has the holiday items for $0.49.... Thank you again for this. Last year we ordered a pizza, bc it was cheaper. I can't wait for this meal. 😍❤
This is great for truckers on the road that can't get home for the holidays, the restaurants may not be an option for various reasons but have a microwave in their truck. Thanks for putting this together great idea!
Wish your channel was around when my wife and I first started our family. We had a LOT of low budget meals during those days of financial struggle. We still pride ourselves that we could all eat for about $.50 per meal per person.
I love that everything can be done in the microwave. But for people who can add just an electric kettle, you could boil the water for the potatoes and stuffing in that and cut a lot of your time down so that things don't get as cold while you wait for the other parts to cook.
I am disabled as a result of multiple TBIs. Frequently I faint or dissociate so I can only use things that turn themselves off (I caught my kitchen on fire twice because I suddenly forgot I was cooking and just wandered out of the kitchen.)

@@luigigabrielofficial Amen!!!
I'm also disabled due to having a stroke, I can walk but my left arm is useless. These videos are very helpful.
Sending many prayers your way. May the Lord provide for you and heal you and may his will be done in your life. AMEN!@@jessicapoirier2310
The difference in portion size between this meal and the frozen dinners is WILD 😂 Now THIS is what a Thanksgiving portion could/should look like ❤
As a disabled person, both physically and mentally, I REALLY appreciate you considering these things in your videos. Most people don't, and some go as far as to bad mouth "easier" methods. I make the rolls from scratch in the dough machine, but the stuffing, gravy, and mashed potatoes are "instant" varieties. I just simply don't have the ability, energy, time or money to hand make every part. Thank you for caring and knowing that if you think it's silly: maybe that's because it's not for you! 💜
As always you’ve outdone yourself. Love your videos and your personality. Extremely useful and pleasant. Excellent ideas always!!
I have no clue how many times I’ve been told
Well if you’re too lazy to even do that I can’t or nobody can help you
Sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it
If I could just do it I would
Sad part is it’s usually family I hear it from
When you’re dropping things and almost passing out just preparing something to go into the microwave a pan of boiling water to make potatoes isn’t safe
I’m glad too that she is considerate of different difficulties people might have and not condescending about it
Those mashed potatoes are SO much better than the frozen dinner ones. That is a beautiful dinner and giving complete Thanksgiving vibes!!And this microwave dinner gives you so much more food. Thank you, Rebecca!!
Yes they are!
This is fantastic. The fact that you can get two Thanksgiving meals (or in my case, probably closer to four) out of $10 is incredible enough on its own, but to have everything be microwave-friendly is the icing on the cake. If you substituted canned turkey and a can of vegetables, you could box everything up to give away at food pantries or other charities, too. I appreciate your ability to think creatively about people's food challenges. You are a huge blessing!
The canned turkey would also be easier to chew than the smoked turkey although some people have difficulty with opening cans that don’t have a pull tab to open
Every once in a while I’m not strong enough to open even those cans
It’s definitely a great option for food pantries that can’t store perishable food to give out 🥰
I really enjoyed your recent microwave frozen turkey dinners recently, but WOW, you knocked it out of the park with this dinner.

Yes, so much more food than the frozen meals! And your choice of veggie! Great job! Youve really CARVED out a niche for yourself (ha ha little thxgiving joke there!).
Haha nice pun there!
So many good ideas here! One plus of filling plates is that it makes people feel pampered yet helps make sure everyone gets some of everything. (Talking more about feeding a larger group). A+ video! Have a great week!
Thank you for doing a real dinner for folks that's tasty and budget friendly. 💜
Any time!
For those of us who do have to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner because of large families, can you do a video (or 2 or 3, lol) on how to make budget meals out of leftovers that isn't just turkey sandwiches? So many of us would love that! Plus, you are the queen of budget meals and after spending all that money on the meal itself, we'll need lower cost ideas to turn those leftovers into something. 🙂
Great idea!!
@@DollarTreeDinners I too would love to see this too. I will be cooking for about 16 people. I love watching what you come up with.
You could try what I refer to as a Thanksgiving pot pie/cottage pie (I haven't figured it out what I call it yet, lol.) I create a stuffing pie crust (bake a little on its own to crisp it up before filling it.) Then depending on the leftovers you can layer turkey and vegetables with thin layers of gravy between to keep it moist, or alternatively, depending on how much is left just make a filling of turkey bits, vegetables and gravy. Top that with mashed potatoes (like a cottage pie). Bake to warm through and create a brown crust on potatoes (top with cheese the last five minutes if you'd like.) You could actually create the pie in lieu of a Thanksgiving dinner too, with deli or canned turkey meat.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 Great idea to use the stuffing as the crust!
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 Yum! 😋
Impressive! If a person had a kettle to boil the water, the time to prepare could be cut in half. Your dinner looked great!
Definitely, I have a kettle and it boils a lot of water in around 5 minutes, it’s perfect for things like this
My electric kettle has made a huge difference for me!!
You did it again! A tasty, hearty holiday dinner, that was easy to prepare. Thank you for always thinking about all your viewer, those of us that have access to a full kitchen as well as that don’t.
Hope you enjoy, happy holidays!
Rebecca: OK Challenge Accepted!!
Then you proceed to running it to a touchdown too. Great Job Rebecca!! I love how you even included that this would be great for those like me who are disabled and physically challenged (stroke survivor & in a wheelchair). This was exactly why I wanted to see a better microwave Thanksgiving meal cos most of my family is down South & I usually pick up 1 of those frozen dinners you tried (Banquet) for mine.

Mission Accomplished!! 🎉
Thank you Violet! I am always so happy when someone I curate the video for, who I believe would directly benefit, comments and let’s me know if it would work for them! Mission accomplished certainly and I hope you have a lovely thanksgiving dinner
@@DollarTreeDinners- I'm on SSI-Disability so this $10 budget really fits into my budget. Only thing I want to add to this would be Candied Yams, but for $5 I think I can get a can of sweet potatoes or yams, and mini marshmallows. $15 would still make a great Thanksgiving meal idea. I'm already making up my grocery list now. Thanks a bunch!!
I’ll definitely be needing this! $10 is my grocery budget on my best weeks and the problems from having to pick and choose when I eat vs. when I take some of my meds have been especially overwhelming lately as I’ve been more sick than usual since June. I can stretch a meal for ‘two’ over an entire week, and this looks way bigger than what I usually end up making when I’m left to my own ideas haha.
I’ve just never really seen real meals in my life so when I get to the store if money allows, I pick out A ProteinTM and A VeggieTM and something canned for the week…but then I don’t have any idea what to make so every meal is turkey with rice, a pepper with rice, or plain black beans/chickpeas. One pan, one bowl, one meal.
I just really wanted to thank you because so many of the other ‘low income cooking/cleaning’ channels I follow base their videos on $50-100 budgets and that’s a pipe dream for some of us! I won’t name them, but a cleaning channel just put out a video on what their shopping trip would look like on a budget and the ‘budget’ was $100 before tax!
I’m definitely bookmarking this to rewatch later. Hope you’re having a manageable day so far! ✨
I understand what you are talking about choosing between meds n food. I’ve been doing that for years n now have breast cancer again n my ins doesn’t pay much on my chemo. So it’s really tough now. This meal will last me days. I pray things change for us soon.
Well this dinner sounds delicious I never thought about using the turkey legs instead of buying a whole turkey because there's only two of us that are going to be eating. 😋😀🐓🧑🍳👩❤️👨🦃
@jasond.b-w. THIS particular channel is GREAT for $ saving meal ideas, but remember, there are other You Tube channels out there also that specifically target those with VERY low grocery budgets and even 1 or 2 person households!👌 Nobody in this country should have to choose between FOOD or MEDS.....please check out resources in your area that offer food pantries (if you’re unsure where to go, just dial 211 which will give you a lot of information for your general area, or you could even call local churches and ask if they have listings- they should be able to point you in the right direction) Best wishes for a JOYFUL holiday season! BLESSINGS from Maine❤️
Working at Walmart I get the little pies on my breaks. The pecan is excellent warm & I remove the foil pan but put the pie back in the box to microwave for 30 seconds 😋
What a great idea. I never thought of that. Diane
Not a Thanksgiving thing, but I am addicted to those little lemon pies. I could eat one every day.
You did a really excellent job with this one, and I love how thoughtful you are about people's means, whether it's financial, kitchen set-up and appliances, or physical and cognitive limitations. Those white soup plates that you served on are really lovely, too. (I wanted you to pop the plate that you microwaved the brussels sprouts in on top of the bowl you put them in to keep them warm.) Smoked turkey legs are not a regular grocery item where I am in Southern Ontario, Canada, and a quick google for local stores that do carry them (like kosher shops) shows me that they range from $7 and $12 per pound!
Thanks for the tip! I wasn’t too concerned since I was about to eat it but that definitely helps heat retention, I should have mentioned that
I have some major challenges right now so I need food to be easy, affordable and of course tasty. I'm so glad your channel ended up in my suggestions. I'm hooked! You're helping me a lot. I appreciate all your content, thank you. This meal looks delightful and easy! ❤😊
Hope you enjoy!
You did a great job spending less than $11.00 for a large delicious meal for any day of the year ! God bless 🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I love how you consider people who may have to rely on non traditional means to prepare meals...especially your wonderful holiday dinners! God bless you@
Even for people who have less restrictions in the kitchen, sometimes the effort to whip up an entire meal from scratch can be exhausting.
I cook 95% of the dinners in our house and I don't want to spend 20-30 minutes cleaning, peeling, chopping and cooking potatoes whenever we have them. I love instant potatoes because they are really good when done right and super easy.
I love watching your videos for inspiration and ideas. You have such a calm speaking voice.
I honestly think it's so sweet and thoughtful that you show how to make meals for people who maybe can't use a kitchen or struggle with traditional cooking. You're a good person.
This is awesome for single people and disabled persons, and even those who dont want to cook 😂...I agree the Turkey and gravy packs would have been better but overall u did a great job in giving people ideas on how to enjoy a Thankgiving meal on a budget..LOVE IT!!! ❤
They seem popular lol every store is out of them
There seems to be enough turkey, gravy and dressing to make turkey bowls the next day with perhaps the addition of another package of potatoes and a can or frozen package of corn or green beans. I look forward to a next day leftover bowl as much as I do Thanksgiving
I love how you are so thoughtful. Gearing meals towards those who don't have a kitchen or have a disability is a wonderful service. God bless you for your kind spirit. ❤️
That looks like a perfect preview of my Thanksgiving dinner, except I'll have turkey breast and broccoli with cheese sauce for my veg. It'll be a nice dinner for my little brother and I. Thank you Rebecca! ❤
Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
I almost did broccoli but that’s such a standard vegetable for me, I don’t eat Brussel sprouts very often so figured I’d switch it up. Now if they sold a small green bean casserole I’d be set 😂
The increase in quality for the same price as microwave meals is insane! And its honestly not much harder than microwaving two or more frozen meals in a row. I'm fortunate enough to have more available to me than a microwave for cooking, but its so good to know that there are tasty, filling, alternatives for people who need it!
Also, I'm so surprised to know that Food Lion has smoked turkey legs. I've never seen them there before, but I'll have to try them out!
This was a great video, thanks for caring for people who have different options. .
I haven't been able to find the Banquet Turkey and Gravy for awhile.
Aldi brand stuffing mix is very cheap and I actually like it better than the brand.
The vanilla ice-cream caramel sundae from dollar tree (the one that's rather bland) - it might be nice to take one and divide it over the warm apple pies.
Heating the turkey: sometimes with cooked meat this helps. Heat the gravy first. Put the meat in and let it just sit and warm up, then heat it. This requires less heating time which is good bc sometimes meat gets tough in the microwave.
I live alone on an extremely limited budget. Small kitchen. I try to cook this way. It's easier than scratch and much cheaper and better than prepared meals. Plus leftovers!!! It's very important for people alone not to say, "It's only me, I'm not gonna bother." Do bother, you are worth it. Just bc you are alone doesn't mean you are not worth a celebration.
So true! ❤️
Thanks for the tip on heating meat/gravy, I’m always trying to be more energy efficient as well as enjoy a tastier meal.
@The3Storms Me too. I'm learning to cut corners where I didn't know there were corners. I got really excited the other day when I found a machine where the air for tires was free. I was like well, I can get something at the dollar store!!! I've always considered myself to be grateful and being poor is way less than fun, but I do appreciate things way more than I used to.
Thst was awesome!! The $10 turkey dinner looked so good, and the perfect amount of food was more than adequate!! Very creative staying in budget!! Nice presentation ,too! Have a great weekend!! See you next video 😊
Glad you liked it!!
This dinner looks so good! I'm going to make this for myself next week. For Thanksgiving I'm using a Cajun flavored turkey sandwich meat and sides
Cajun Turkey sounds so good!
I really appreciate these types of videos! My daughter & her bf are living in a "fixer-upper" house, working on it as they go, and currently don't have a full kitchen - just a 3/4 fridge with tiny freezer, a microwave, and an air fryer. Just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to this and love sharing your videos with her!
Thank you for always remembering those of us who are older, disabled, on a low income, and can no longer cook safely. You are so kind!
Jenni-O used to have a precooked rolled turkey roast in a pan that was really nice, but I haven't seen then in years. If anyone else can find them they would be a great alternative for a small family for Thanksgiving.
I've been looking for that turkey loaf for 2 years. My Walmart used to have it but now they don't
Trader Joe's has had one the past few years. Not sure on the cost these days. They also had like a precooked breast you could reheat I brought for a work event in 2019.
This is a perfect dinner!! All the essentials are there. Everything actually looks tasty and filling. You're doing amazing work by sharing this kind of stuff ❤
I have gained so many good ideas from you, I have friends in the nomad community, some by choice, and some due to financial limitations. You remind all of us that you can have the nostalgia and thankfulness without feeling like a victim. Love that!
Thank you for this, my family is skipping out on Thanksgiving again this year so I think I’m going to make this meal for myself so I’m not missing out on comfort food! Easy, cheap and simple! Love you’re content!
That is SO MUCH MORE food than the TV dinners. Goodness.
My family is fortunate enough to have everything we need as far as food and food preparation goes, I still very much admire your ability to be creative with food and think outside the box for everyone's needs and certain situations.
I love your videos so much. Not only do you give people great low cost ideas, you present them with such kindess. This meal is a fantastic option for so many people!
You’re definitely my favorite cooking show now. Clever, affordable Thanksgiving meals are an art form in themselves!
Glad you like them!
Love this idea! Mental health makes cooking a challenge, but I almost always have the energy to microwave something. Thanks for sharing!
I love that you took the time to show the possibility of using a microwave to make a filling, hearty & delicious thanksgiving dinner. Great job as usual.
Girl you are my hero. I’m going to get this today n make it today or tomorrow. I love smoked turkey legs n wings. I’m having chemo for breast cancer again n I’m weak so this will be easy. Thank you
I love your videos. They are incredibly valuable to those with budget constraints or disabilities. That looks like a fabulous, festive, Thanksgiving dinner.
HOME RUN!!! Excellent 👍 job. I love how you include seniors and people with disabilities in your thought process. I'm one of those who can not stand for long periods of time in the kitchen anymore.
Yes I agree Rebecca is very considerate of people and their situations in life..she definitely has a 💙 for people!
I understanding and empathy you have an all of your videos is unparalleled anything ever seen on CZcams. These are not only informative and exciting to watch but I know that you give a lot of people a lot of hope. I think I saw in a video that your dad had passed but he and your mother must be insanely immensely proud of the caring and compassionate person that you are
You did great on this! It's definitely an alternative for ppl who only cook for one or two ppl!
It's very cost effective, and you won't be having to eat Thanksgiving leftovers for weeks to come.
I really enjoy watching your channel! I constantly get great ideas from your content.
Thank you! I think that you ALWAYS do such a wonderful job with your shares!
I haven't been disappointed with anything that you've shared so far.
Have a blessed day!❤😊
Eating Turkey for weeks or figuring out different ways to enjoy eating Turkey over and over again is certainly the downside to buying a whole Turkey at thanksgiving for a small family 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed this small thanksgiving dinner
@@DollarTreeDinners I repeat binge watch you almost EVERYDAY! Stay blessed...👍👊😁❤️💯
This looks way better than the frozen meals. Great for people in hotels, hostels, dorms etc. Nice work Rebecca
Thank you for your content. I may currently be able to still prepare meals in a full kitchen. But you never know when that might change (health, finances, and emergency) I put all your ideas to memory. I may also meet someone in day to day living that needs help navigating a kitchen situation. You really are one of the best on CZcams to show true understanding and compassion.
When boiling water in the microwave, please put a bamboo chopstick in the water. It gives any bubbles a place to get together and not superheat/erupt
Will anything else work if we don’t have chopsticks? Every time I make soup or tea I literally have to leave the room until it’s done because the popping and banging in the microwave makes me panic myself into a blackout lol. I’d love to know how to stop it from doing that
This is exactly what I needed as I'm a miserable loner. Thanks!
Glad I could help! I don’t think you are a miserable loner for what it’s worth 🥰
Sam's has a wonderful rotisserie chicken for about 5 dollars. If someone didn't care if it was chicken instead of turkey and was willing to add another few dollars to the budget, that would work great as well! We typically actually go with rotisserie chickens instead of roasting our own turkey on Thanksgiving. We prefer chicken to turkey anyway, and it saves SOOOO much work and money! Instead we can focus on all the fun sides!
I love that idea! Sams club can be counter productive, once you factor in the membership fee and limited physical locations, but a rotisserie is usually fairly inexpensive most places albeit not as large as one from a wholesale club
walmart does the same thing for about the same price so it's a little more accessible than just being at sam's club
@@memestealer2561Walmart and Sam's club are owned by the same company.
@@dianethoroughman9541 i know, i don't see what your point is
I have sometimes, not often, but occasionally, seen grocery stores do a large turkey breast in the bags similar to how they do the rotisserie chickens! Definitely keep an eye out for those, I don't know if it's random or if it's more around Thanksgiving, but I have had them before and remember it being great!
Great video, Rebecca! Perfect for this time of year. I hope you will do this type of video with frozen pizzas in the future!
Rebecca, your dinner looks so much better than every one of the frozen dinners you tried! And now you have leftovers for the classic Thanksgiving sandwich: turkey, stuffing and mayo! You could also replace one of the desserts with a can of sweet potatoes for just a bit of additional nostalgia. Thank you for this terrific, budget version of a holiday meal!!!
You may not realize how much you help people with your content. You present it with such grace, class and kindness. May God continue to bless you and your channel.
Excellent job!!! I appreciate the fact that you are thinking of those who do not have access to a 'regular' kitchen. I am also disabled, both physically and mentally, but I love that you are thinking of us too!
That looks FABULOUS.
This could be a new series. Pick a frozen food dinner and see if you can recreate it at home for $10!
Love your videos. It gives me great ideas for meals.
Thats a good idea. Recreate frozen dinners but bigger, better, and not much more work. Love it.
Excellent informative video...there have been many times I could've used a budget friendly Thanksgiving meal plan. Being single and disabled I'm usually pretty good at stretching a $. I have to admit your Thanksgiving meal plan has never come close to crossing my mind. Thank you so very much for sharing! Have a wonderful Holiday season...
Amazing what you can do for $5/serving. Thanks for sharing always
Thanks for watching!
I dont need to shop at dollar tree...but for whatever reason your videos pop up in my feed! And i love them! I am so happy you give people options and ideas if this is is the resource they have. Much respect for you, and I feel like you help many people!❤
I have lived alone for many years, and occasionally buy frozen dinners. I have found that adding some instant mashed potatoes to the runny potatoes in frozen dinners really helps. Plus, it greatly improves the taste.
Great comparison to the frozen dinners and GOOD TO KNOW! Making it was still super easy and fast, so I would choose this over the frozen dinners. THANKS for another great video and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving yourself!!
Im so impressed by how amazing this came out for such a fantastic price. This is hands down a thousand times better than the premade frozen meals.
It's incredible, yet once again, that you've found another way for us to make another delicious holiday dinner, and for 10 bucks. That really allows almost everyone to be able to have holiday dinner, just amazing!
The Idahoan instant mashed potatoes are really good! I make them for family dinners all the time, they don't even taste like a budget item.
Thanks for such wonderful videos. I am disabled ♿ and need the easy way. God bless everyone ❤➕ ❤❤
This actually turned out pretty decent..great job 👌🏾
Thank you!! 😊
Really nice ideas and presentation! I’ve done something like this when we couldn’t meet family for Thanksgiving dinner. Oscar Meyer has some really nice thick deli sliced turkey (not smoked) in the cold cuts aisle that’s a good alternative as well. They are on sale often.
Mmmm all looked so good and very affordable. I love how you consider food insecurity it's a real thing especially holiday time when we need to feed our families on a budget. Very thoughtful of you bless your contribution 🙏🏽
I love this idea. What a creative way to help others enjoy their own dinner despite their budget or abilities.
I’ve had this exact (minus the sprouts) thanksgiving meal when I was celebrating alone many times.
This looks really effective for the price. Even someone with disposable income does not always need or even want a full turkey so the legs are a great option for solo people or couples. Thank you for the video.
A tip for when you're heating things up and you don't want them to dry out but you don't have a dish with a lid: Put one or two wet paper towels over the top of the dish. This helps create and trap moisture within the dish. I use this to steam veggies, heat leftover chicken, and steam frozen dumplings in the microwave all the time!
I really love how inclusive your videos are, thank you!
You are so welcome!
It's so thoughtful and kind to make these videos. Warms my cold bitter heart.
That actually looks really delicious! I’m really love your videos, thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
We are a family of 3. I like the idea of turkey legs to save money and not running the oven for hours at a time. If funds permits, broth can be substituted for some or all of the water when making stuffing. Then you don't really need to add butter or oils.
Not sure if everyone knows this, but many supermarkets have the loyalty cards which uses a point system. As you shop, you accumulated points. At this time of year, they often offer using those accumulated point for a free turkey, ham or turkey breats. This was our savior many Thanksgivings. Thanks for another awesome video!
Wow you really did this one very well! 🤩This really is a feast 💕 Great job!
Omg!! Pecan pie is the best pie in the world and i love every aspect of it. The yummy flavor of a toasted pecan with that yummy goo and flaky crust!!! Heaven!!!
When I was a kid I always hoped my mom would pick up those smoked turkey legs because they are perfection. DELICIOUS!!!
This looks so delicious I’m going to make this. Bless you for the budget friendly recipes meals😊
Hope you enjoy
Since my wife's stroke, I do all the cooking in our home. I have a full kitchen with all the appliances I could want, but I do like to use the microwave when possible because it is cooler to use it, in the summer, than the range and oven. That's why I appreciate your approach in these videos. I just want to point out that you can use large worn out towels, that might otherwise be thrown away (or can be acquired at thrift stores), to wrap around each element of your meal to keep them hot as you prepare the next part of the meal. That, I have found, is the real challenge of cooking in a small microwave, having everything warm at serving time. With a larger microwave, you can put everything in at the end and ZAP it together for a few minutes. Not so with a little one. I have baked Saran wrapped Russet potatoes in the microwave and then rolled them up in a towel and got a physical steam burn pealing the plastic wrap off 20 minutes later. Towels are great insulating "cozies".
I've noticed that when I use the storage lids on the "microwave safe" cookware, even when it's quality name brand cookware, while I'm actually cooking, the plastic soon breaks down and the lids split and stretch and deform and are no longer useful as storage seals on the containers. For that reason, I use Plastic Film to cover the cookware while it's in the microwave. The lids seem to last much longer that way.
It would have been a jaw dropper if If to had plated this meal up on the same plates you used in that frozen dinner video and then do a split scene with each of those meals!
I use smoked turkey legs, exclusively, to season Pinto beans (one leg per pound of dry beans, shred the meat after it gets tinder and starts to fall off the bone) I had no idea that you could heat them in the microwave and eat them like a caveman(or woman)! You were way more delicate with that "Flintstone" leg than I could ever be. 😆
This is fantastic. I work as a DSP, I support adults who are IDD. This dinner is so simple and straightforward that must folks I support could independently do this or with very minimal supervision.
I know it tastes much better than the frozen dinners and it’s a lot more food. Great job!
Just want to also add, I loved the frozen turkey dinner video, I will be trying the Banquet one, but think I will skip on the others!! Mealy stuffing I can do without-I think that was one of the Marie Cullendar ones! Thank you so much for being a taste-tester for us, saving us time and money by doing it for us, so we can make our own choices, based on what your findings are. You really are amazing, just love all of your videos, your thoroughness and attention to detail in explaining things is very much appreciated and makes it so easy for us to follow ourselves what you do in your videos.
Those little pies were my childhood. Grandparents always had them. Usually around 50¢ but maybe they’ve gone up.
You are so creative and thoughtful with your meal planning, a trait I sorely lack.
I also want to suggest using à crockpot. I got a turkey breast at a food bank once and I cooked it in a crockpot with gravy on top. For my sides I used the microwave like you did. I also made a coolwhip pumpkin moose no bake pie.
I like how versatile you can make this meal. It's just lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Your plate looks delicious 😋
I have never thought to steam the stuffing. What a great tip. I do not like mushy stuffing 😒
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 My stove and oven are broken and I can not afford to fix it yet 😢 So, I cook what I can in my Crockpot and Airfryer. So this is what I'll serve for Thanksgiving this year. I know my husband will be absolutely happy with it. I spend my holidays cooking and feeding our community homeless, Veterans and needy residents. So, I am at the food pantry and soup kitchen on the holidays, all day. I don't like to eat there, since I feel like it's taking a plate away from someone who may not have anything to eat. So when I get home, I'm hungry 😋 This year our income declined, so we are on a tighter budget. I can definitely set aside $10, for our Thanksgiving meal. If I'm frugal and watch the sales adds, I can also pick up a can of corn, green beans and cranberry sauce 😋 My local Kroger has the holiday items for $0.49....
Thank you again for this. Last year we ordered a pizza, bc it was cheaper. I can't wait for this meal. 😍❤
This is great for truckers on the road that can't get home for the holidays, the restaurants may not be an option for various reasons but have a microwave in their truck. Thanks for putting this together great idea!
Great ideas! You could slice the meat off the turkey legs, either before or after heating and probably feed 4!
Looking forward ard to seeing how this comes out! You do incredible things with such small budgets ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Oh my gosh, it came out looking delicious!! Well done, seriously--I can't believe all that was only $10.25 after tax.
So much more food than the microwave meals. Definitely doing this $10 dinner
Well done Rebecca! I’m Thankful for your channel.
Wish your channel was around when my wife and I first started our family. We had a LOT of low budget meals during those days of financial struggle. We still pride ourselves that we could all eat for about $.50 per meal per person.
Thank you for microwave only meals. With a college age kid this video is GREATLY appreciated. Please provide additional microwave only meals!
This looks WAY better than any of the frozen meals.
You could even do only one single serve pie for one person and get one of those school lunch vanilla ice cream cups to put some on top of the pie.
For $10 you can't beat this. That's a healthy n filling meal, aaaand now I'm hungry 😂
Thank you for providing options for those who may have difficulty this holiday season. 🎉❤
I love that everything can be done in the microwave. But for people who can add just an electric kettle, you could boil the water for the potatoes and stuffing in that and cut a lot of your time down so that things don't get as cold while you wait for the other parts to cook.
