ground turkey drives this basket at $5.49, 23% of the total. The next biggest lines are celery ($5.18) and rolled oats ($3.69). $10.94 of the basket - 45% - is package remainder: food you buy because stores sell packages and recipes call for amounts. It does not vanish, it sits in your kitchen for the next meal.

Toss some sweet potatoes in the oven when you're baking this meatloaf, and pair this dinner with a tossed salad for a tasty and delicious meal!
