The recumbent trikes tend to be more expensive, if you get a standard type, they can be had for quite cheaply. I can't recommend anything in particular, but have a Google and I'm sure you will find something.
Good luck and happy hunting.

I have that trike. It's a bit of a pain to assemble, and the wheel guards are kind of flimsy, but it's a really good trike for the price.
I got it from Amazon for $250 in September, 2015, so you may want to shop around on pricing. You can use camelcamelcamel to track the pricing and have it alert you when it comes down.
When it comes to assembling it you may want to watch a video on youtube first to know what you're getting into.
If I had some cash to burn I'd probably get this tricycle:

I picked up a Schwinn Tricycle about a year and a half ago and enjoy it. It ran something like $288 on amazon and I had to assemble it. The quality is OK, I was warned pretty strongly on forums (and at the bike shop) to not pop curbs with the back wheels because the axle can break. It's pretty heavy which has been great for exercise and weight loss. I'd says its a good entry level tricycle.

Although you can lean into turns a small amount on a trike, it's 90% turning the handle bars. this was very foreign to my cyclist friends. the right wheel is the driver so i do find myself leaning slightly right sometimes. on a left turn i don't lean much at all. As for the balance issues, I've definitely had a few occasions coming down winding hills where I lost control and had to resort to a "Flintstones stop" (i.e. using my feet to slow down the trike instead of letting it roll over left or right). After doing that once or twice, I know my limits. Also it's super nice to just pedal and not have to worry too much about balance. I hope this helps!
Out of all the things, I would buy this bike. I have a disability and exercise is a key part to getting better. The problem is that my disability is pain/joint/movement related. The two best forms of exercise for me are swimming and biking. I have a trike on there because I have vertigo/terrible balance. Plus, it's super cute and I would totally put my corgi in the basket. hehehe!
