I don't eat meat but back when I did and was very poor, Meijer always had turkey legs for practically nothing. You can brown a couple in oil then boil them in broth or bouillon cubes until they are falling off the bone then either mix up some homemade dumplings or take a cheap can of biscuits and make dumplings from that. If you can't afford cream, instant mashed potatoes works very well to thicken the broth. Most people I know that eat meat don't like turkey except at Thanksgiving, but it was quite delicious and filling.
