Turkey Sausage and Pasta #SundaySupper

Holidays can put a strain on your food budget. Maybe you try to impress guests with tempting goodies. Yummy confections or mouth-watering roasts and turkeys with all the trimmings. Sometimes just feeding the masses aka family 3 squares a day runs up the bill. Reigning in my food bill is a tough nut to crack. (That reminds me, I need nuts, ugh.) Its still okay to enjoy lobster once in a while.
This week Sunday Supper plans on serving budget-friendly meals.
Turkey Sausage and Pasta can be a very budget-friendly meal. Buying sausage in bulk is the way to go. Most stores have some sort of discount when you buy family-sized packages. These packs usually weigh 3 pounds or more.
There are only 2 people living in our household right now. So we get about 5 meals out of 3 pounds. Very economical on our end. When I see pasta my favorite pastas on sale I stock up. Same goes with sauce and sauce ingredients. Tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and tomato paste are must haves around here.

Turkey Sausage and Pasta lightly coated in a bbq based sauce is an inexpensive quick to make meal. Add caramelized onions, peppers and mushrooms for a complete meal.
