Its not that people have a problem paying for quality. These suggestions were made to lower the cost of making the dish.

@Barbara: You must not be using very high-quality turkey. Take a look at options that don’t contain hormones and antibiotics, and you’ll pay more but stay healthier. Why does everyone in the US have such a problem with paying for quality?

Ground turkey is great, but beware it can be high in fat, depending upon what parts are included. I buy fresh/frozen chicken/turkey breast and grind it myself using the attachment on Cuisinart my stand mixer.

Good idea for using tofu – however, where I live, ground turkey sells for $1.50/lb. and tofu costs $2.50-2.98 for 13-14 oz. at our Walmart.

Good suggestions; but not a complete “meal.” They’re a “main dish” or “entree.” The squash needs a green vegetable. Lasagne needs garlic bread! I’d like to suggest a personal (and vegetarian, yes) alternate in those dishes asking for ground turkey or such. I drain and freeze tofu, thaw it and crumble for a meat-like texture that absorbs flavors well, for lower cost.
