Time to get a start on what to eat for the weekend. I'm thinking about the freshly ground meat sale happening at Sprouts (40% off pretty much everything except organic beef), and am thinking it's time for turkey burgers. To go with a recipe, I'd favor spicy turkey burgers from Bon Appetit. Another option would be to use some roasted chile peppers from your freezer (or Full Circle Farms should have them again at tomorrow's Boulder Farmers' Market), mixing the diced chiles into the ground turkey to approximate the delicious chile turkey burgers the Pearl Street Whole Foods was selling a few weeks ago when chiles first appeared. The ground chicken also available at Sprouts would be an option too, instead of turkey if you prefer.
We'll need a big pot of something made over the weekend to help us with a quick midweek dinner, and with organic russet potatoes on sale at Sunflower for $2.50 for a 5 pound bag, fennel-potato soup with smoked salmon sounds appealing for this time of year. The recipe is written as a first course, but I just up the salmon considerably to make it a substantial main course. Whole Foods happens to have Duck Trap smoked salmon on sale this week too.
I must be in a fall comfort foods mode, because to round out the weekend, I'm thinking meatloaf. It's prompted by two sales: the 40% off ground meat at Sprouts (and everybody already has their own favorite meatloaf recipe) or the lazy way, with prepared meatloaf on sale at Sunflower for $2.99 a pound. I've never tried their meatloaf, but if their prepared turkey meatballs are any indication, it should be good. Bake some russet potatoes from the 5 pound bag from Sunflower on the side.
On to the weekday planning.
