What's a traditional Thanksgiving meal without the turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, and pie. A traditional Thanksgiving meal can have more than 2000 calories and 100 grams of fat! Here are some simple tips on how you can make your meal healthy without sacrificing the taste.
Turkey Tips:
• Instead of coating the bird in vegetable oil
or butter, spray it lightly with cooking spray.
• To keep your turkey moist without all the
fat, cook it in a browning bag.
Stuffing Secrets:
• When it comes to the stuffing or dressing,
replace real butter or margarine with butter
flavored granules. Just mix them with warm
water and you have the flavor of butter
without the fat.
• Fill your stuffing with low calorie things like
onions, celery, and poultry seasoning.
