From “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Well on a Budget,” by Lucy Beale and Jessica Partridge (Alpha). Prices are not included in the recipe, but turkey thighs are cheap, so you should have enough left over for roasted sweet potatoes to go with this. Serves 4.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 turkey thighs, about 2 1/2pounds total
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 cup frozen green beans
1/2 cup apricot jam
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon pepper (or 1 tablespoon pepper plus a few gratings of fresh lemon peel)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup apple juice
Directions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium- high heat. Brown turkey for 5 minutes on each side.
Reduce heat to medium. Add bell pepper, green beans, jam, salt, lemon pepper, water and apple juice. Stir well. Simmer about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
