As a result of this fact, I've decided to write a series of posts containing meals I've cooked at home, on my student budget that are healthy... ish... usually.
So to start us off...
Turkey, Sweet Potato Mash and Green Beans
This one is literally so easy. You can swap the turkey for your preferred meat and the beans for whatever veg you fancy.
First, peel your sweet potato and chop it up into chunks.
Once you've done that, get 2 saucepans, one slightly bigger than the other for the potato, fill them with water and put them on the hob and wait for the water to bubble. Pop in your sweet potato to the larger one.
I use a grill pan for my turkey, but you could also fry or grill it on the grill. After you've chopped up your turkey (or not) to your preferred size, start it cooking.
Keep testing your potatoes (shove a knife into one piece) and when they're nearly done (they'll be almost soft) put your green beans into the pan.
Once your potatoes are done, drain them and then pop them back into the pan & mash them. Be sure to make sure your turkey isn't over cooking. If it is, just pop it on a lower heat or if it's done, turn the heat off and keep it in the pan until you're ready to plate up.
By this time, your veg should be done. Drain that too and arrange the mash and veg on your plate. Take your turkey and pop it on your plate too.
If you felt like some sauce with this, obviously whack that on too. Sweet potatoes are my favourite 'good carb' and so cheap!! The green beans were on offer so that's why I chose them, so I'd probably say just buy whatever veg you fancy or what's on offer. Turkey is a cheaper meat than chicken and contains less fat.. If you're fussed about that.
Let me know what you thought about this post, or what kind of meals you'd like to see on this series of posts!
