celery drives this basket at $5.18, 28% of the total. The next biggest lines are turkey ($4.99) and garlic ($2.49). $5.74 of the basket - 31% - 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.
This hearty stew of turkey, potatoes, and vegetables will warm up a cold winter night. You can replace the cooked turkey with cooked chicken.
