ground turkey drives this basket at $5.49, 38% of the total. The next biggest lines are red bell pepper ($3.34) and okra ($1.79). $4.59 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.

Okra, corn, and onions mixed with squash give this veggie stir-fry crunch and flavor. Serve as a side dish with your favorite chicken or fish recipe.
