That's a long time to cook beans from dry, though I've never done it before except in an Instant Pot, which takes less than an hour to turn two cups of dried chickpeas in to about 5-6 cups of edible chickpeas.
I don't want to assume anything, but have you tried different cuisines to change things up? I'm trying to up my beans and lentils and chickpeas intake, so I've done all sorts of things like hummus, Brazilian chickpea curry, Indian chickpea curry, bean chili, pasta e fagioli. I'm also one of those people who can't eat the same thing for more than a week, so I'm always looking for different ways to change up flavours and textures.
That's a killer price on turkey! Do you have a stick blender to use to make a blended vegetable soup? Potatoes, pumpkins, leeks, turkey stock, pretty much all of the vegetables. And then put in shredded turkey and noodles/pasta or something. Add the usual salt, pepper, cumin, etc. Serve with smoked paprika, or cream/Greek yogurt/coconut cream, and bread on the side.
One of the most important things for me is to have a full stock of different herbs and spices, and ice cube trays to freeze leftover anything small enough to freeze (I especially do this with ginger, garlic and other herbs destined to die in the back of the fridge).
It's a struggle. I've been there, too. I'm happy to share recipes that I've made, and substitutes that I've done. Absolutely no shame or high-horsed-ness about any of this - Food is food, and we're in this together. ๐
