The late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain once said, “you learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.” Not only can mealtimes be tasty, but they can also be a valuable opportunity to engage in fellowship, share stories and catch up on your day.

This September, NTF is partnering with the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) to celebrate National Family Meals Month and the power behind gathering around a table with the ones you love. According to FMI, there is significant, measurable scientific proof about the positive, lifelong benefits of family meals, including physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, when you incorporate healthy, lean protein such as turkey to your plate, you’re providing essential vitamins and nutrients to the ones you love.

Thankfully, cooking a family meal does not have to be a chore. Check out this list of some of our favorite simple, family-friendly meals that will be a win-win for everyone around the table:
