I make a beautiful moist turkey on my big green egg ceramic grill. Rub the skin and then go u der the skin and rub the meat with a mixture of spices like Basel minced garlic sea salt onion powder with olive oil. Then take sliced onion chunks and chucks of green apples and tuck inside cavity and in every bend plus under then skin. Cook all day long and low . Turkey like many dishes on thanksgiving can be low carb and small portions make it bariatric. I make a cauliflower broccoli casserole use a recipe I found on a low carb sight just avoid the ones that add bread crumbs etc, sautéed spinach with minced almonds great low carb food. For dessert a splenda pumpkin pie with crushed almond as the crust. A few things to avoid so you don't make yourself sick are the sugery pies like pecan made with corn Syrup nonononononono choc ie etc also remember 50% of the enjoyment of potato is the toppings make it with cauliflower and you get a taste without dumping tip for cauliflower dry it after cooking and blend with food processor reheat then add butter and sour cream. Remember also the main change is ..................

STUFFING YOURSELF IS NOT AN OPTION !

Enjoy family and food but keep using your small plate and put your fork down between bites. Happy thanksgiving all.
