Budget-Friendly Thanksgiving: Full Meal Under $50

❤🎉

The under $50 meal

You really did a fantastic job.

Thank You!

when baking a pie I would recommend putting a round pizza pan underneath the pie in case the juices spill over...I picked up several at the thrift store....

It seemed a nice amount for the budget these days. I am thinking that for a smaller family, there would be substantial left-overs which would reduce the cost over the longer term. Fabulous result. Thank you for the video!

Factor leftovers into the final cost, because you can get 2 meals, some sandwiches and a pot of soup out of that bird! Good catch btw. I found a turkey breast for .99/lb (same brand). Compared to the $3.99/lb for another brand, it was a steal!!! It's just my brother and myself so that will be more than enough meat.

White meat great job. ❤❤❤❤❤

Those birch trees out your window are so gorgeous! I love birch trees!

Beautiful dinner Maria! I don’t like turkey, but will eat it with LOTS of canberry sauce. Ben was so cute with his pattern!😂

Beautiful meal! 😍

We always invite the single people we know over for dinner. They bring a dish, so things are cheaper. We just supply the bird, dessert, and appetizers. It works out great, and I know my neighbors aren’t sitting home alone.

Everything looks so wonderful. Ben has really grown & is so handsome, as are your other boys.

You put out your china! 😀

We were so po for so long that our 20 something kids won't abide by anything other than canned jelly cranberry sauce. 😂 We also can't do without my husband's dressing. The other thing that is a must is mashed potatoes & gravy. Other than that, we are open. We have actually had Thanksgiving without pies! We don't have much of a sweet tooth and pie didn't really get eaten. Some got thrown away.
You can absolutely defrost a frozen turkey in a few hours. Long story but definitely doable. Spatchcocking really shortens cook time.

You should try an injector with melted butter and seasonings to inject into the raw turkey parts, especially the dryer white meat like the breasts. It gives it moisture and flavor!! We do it with whole chickens and boneless/skinless chicken breasts too.

no meat at all , much rather have the turkey alive and enjoying life instead of abusing and torturing it!!

After adding sugar and cinnamon to the apples, put them in a colander over a bowl and let them drain for 30 minutes. Thank you Paula Deen!

Everything looks amazing! 👏Thank you for sharing your family and recipes with us. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

They aren't as prevalent as Aldi, but if you have a Lidl near you, they have the exact same brand of turkey for $0.39/pound.

Some people want rolls with the meal for those who don't like stuffing or dressing.

The ironic thing is that you and all Americans will be doing this, NOT as a one-time stunt the white MAN wants us to advertise, but as a penny-pinching practice that will become a habit under the new dictatorial regime. When times get tough, the corporatocracy doesn't cut their own salaries or give their workers raises, they instead tell their workers to tighten their belts, they lay off workers, etc. The $50-$20-$10-$5 thanksgiving dinners I've watched on YT are just the beginning and you'll be lucky to afford even a $5 meal for your family next year. (Lest you think I am picking on just you, know that I post this same comment to every similar video that comes up in my 'feed' - ironic, too, that it's called that, huh?)

Everything looks delicious❤ I love your channel!!!

Awesome Job & THANKS SO MUCH ❤

Absolutely dark meat!!!❤

Everything looks delicious🧆

Team can berry!! I actually have a dish that is specifically for it and it says can berry 😂

Wonderful......Thanks Maria🥰

Is it that time again for Thanksgiving att your house!!

My family is hardly ever in one place for Thanksgiving. I usually have pizza.😂
This is a beautiful meal. Thank you for sharing. Love your channel!

I like both fresh cranberry sauce and cranberry as well.

If you are only having Thanksgiving for a few people, you can get some turkey breast sliced thick at the deli, and served it heated with a can or packaged gravy.

On the flip side. If you're only feeding a few and you like dark meat, grab a few smoked turkey legs.

Beautiful ❤ delicious feast ❤
