Description
Quick, simple meals can make your weeknights less stressful. The Safeway app also helps you choose foods based on weekly deals to keep your costs down.
Right now, ground turkey and apples are on sale, so Safeway’s chef ambassador Joel Gamoran has a cost-efficient one-pot recipe, orzotto (risotto using orzo) with turkey meatballs. You’ll mix and sear the meatballs, add orzo ingredients and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
Gamoran says while making the meatballs, you don’t have to worry about their appearance. Focus on ease and taste.
“We see on social media,” Gamoran said. “We see in cookbooks. Everything looks perfect. It’s a weeknight meal, people.”
Using fewer dishes when you’re preparing dinner makes cleanup a breeze. Cooking everything together can also help make the dish more flavorful.
“One-potters, you don’t realize how much it gives to each other,” he said. “The turkey is giving to the orzo, and the orzo is giving to the turkey.”
Gamoran also suggests worrying more about the prep time of a recipe than the cooking time. Recipes in a slow cooker, for instance, usually have minimal prep time but a longer cooking time. You can do other tasks while the meal is cooking.
“It’s really not about cooking time,” he said. “Cooking time is how long something takes. It’s about prep time.”
Consider doubling the orzotto with turkey meatballs recipe and cooking in batches to ensure you have a meal for the next day too.
“It will make weekdays so much easier,” Gamoran said.
