Monday
Fill a thermos with Guy Fieri’s hearty, satisfying turkey chili recipe (pictured above). A single batch can easily feed two kids for the better part of a week — plus, chili is as freezer-friendly as it gets.
Use leftover pasta from last night’s dinner to make Ellie Krieger’s veggie-packed Rainbows and Butterflies Pasta Salad for Food Network Magazine. It’s loaded up with corn, edamame, bell peppers and carrots, plus a little grated Parmesan.
Get the kids over the hump by putting a twist on the go-to turkey sandwich. Add juicy, sweet grapes and almonds to turkey breast salad for easy-to-make Crunchy Turkey Salad Sandwiches.
Pack a bit of variety with Food Network Kitchen’s Cheddar-Scallion Biscuit Lunchbox. Fun and filling, this bento-style box comes stocked with a hard-boiled egg, fruit and homemade cream-based biscuits that couldn’t be easier to make.
End the week with the most-beloved kid-friendly food of all: chicken nuggets. Make Panko-Crusted Chicken Nuggets the night before; they’re tender and crispy without all the frying. Pack them in a lunchbox with your kids’ favorite veggies, plus a dipping sauce like ketchup, honey mustard or barbecue sauce.
