In this blog post I am sharing a weekly dinner meal plan for a one person. This meal plan contains two dinners. The meal plan is low waste, milk free, gluten free, lower carb, and very easy to prep. For this meal plan I only included dinners, if you are looking for a full weekly meal plan that includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks check out an older post of mine Summer Weekly Meal Prep Plan or Back to School Weekly Meal Prep Plan.
Shopping List
- 15 oz can salmon
- 2 bell peppers (which ever color you like best)
- red onion
- fresh dill
- leafy lettuce
- lemon
- 4 ears of corn
- 1 lb ground turkey
- avocado
- pico de Gallo or your favorite salsa
- eggs
- taco seasoning
Pantry Staples
- almond or oat flor
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil
The two dinners for this weekly dinner meal plan is Salmon Burgers and corn on the cob and turkey taco salad with Fajita Style Peppers and Onions. Each dinner makes four meals. To keep this dairy free I did not make the dill yogurt sauce and did not include that in the meal plan.
For the salmon burgers I would recommend adding more almond flour than the recipe calls for.
I simply make my corn on the cob in the microwave. You wrap it in a wet paper towel and cook it for 3 minutes.
My suggestion for how to use the left over dill if you did not make the dill sauce from the salmon burger recipe is to add it to eggs for breakfast or salad and sandwiches for lunch.
Since you only need one egg for the salmon burgers use the rest of the carton for breakfast.
Turkey Taco Salad with Fajita Style Peppers and Onions
To avoid wasting the pepper and onion used in the salmon burgers use the left over pepper and onion for the taco salad. How I cook my ground turkey is I brown it in a skillet with olive oil and Fody Taco Seasoning. If you want to learn more about Fody products check out My Favorite Fody Foods Products and How I Use Them. Once the ground turkey is most browned add the peppers and onions to the skillet along with more seasoning. Cook until your desired softness. To assemble the turkey taco salad add leafy lettuce, the turkey, peppers, onions, avocado, and pico de Gallo or your favorite salsa. You can also add any of your other favorite taco toppings. I personally buy one avocado and use one fourth of the avocado for each taco salad. I store the rest in a reusable silicone bag in the fridge.
Meal Prep Instructions
My suggestions for meal prepping is to make the salmon burgers and corn on the cob as the first four dinners of the week and then make the turkey taco salad with fajita style peppers and onions for the last four meals of the week. Make sure to put your ground turkey in the freezer if you buy it at the beginning of the week. I recommend putting it in the fridge the night before to thaw out. After making the salmon burgers let them cool completely and then store them in a container in the fridge. The same can be done for the turkey and fajita style peppers and onions. I recommend getting an avocado that will ripen by the second half of the week.
