Low Carb Turkey Dinner

There are certain times of the year that most people find it very hard to stay away from the starchy high carb goodies that are traditional to serve. You know what I'm talking about, a nice turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just whenever turkeys go on sale at the grocery store. Stuffing and potatoes are usually what throw off the low carbers but finding better alternatives is not impossible. In this post I will go over alternatives for mashed potatoes and stuffing, the highest carb parts of most turkey dinners. This should be cooked along with a big turkey and of course some gravy.

 

For the mashed cauli-taters you'll need:

- Head of cauliflower

- 2 Tbsp Cream

- 1 Tbsp onion powder\

- 1/2 Tbsp Garlic 

- 1/2 Tsp Xanthan Gum (improves texture)

- Couple large dollops of butter

- Salt & Pepper

Throw the cauliflower into a blender or food
processor

Add the cream and
blend until smooth

Throw butter in a pan and melt on medium

Add the blended cauliflower, onion powder,
garlic, and xanthan gum along with a few
dashes of salt & pepper

Mix well over a medium heat for a few minutes and serve

Here's the stuffing which should either be eaten or covered and refrigerated right away otherwise it can dry out, although that can be fixed with some gravy.
You will need:
- 2/3 Cup Unflavoured Protein Powder
- 4 Tbsp Almond Flour
- 1/2 Tbsp Psyllium Husks
- 1 Tbsp Parsley
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Poultry Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Onion Powder
- Chopped Celery & Onion

- 1/3 Cup turkey drippings or chicken boullion and oil
- 2 Tbsp Cream
- 1 Egg

Throw all the dry ingredients into a bowl

Chop up the onion and celery

Throw the onion and celery into an oiled pan on a high heat

These are the liquids you will need

Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and mix well

Add the mix to the pan and turn heat down a bit

Cook like you are making scrambled eggs and it will form into clumps

 

Cook until it reaches a bready, stuffing-like
texture and serve

Throw your newly made stuffing & cauli-taters
on a plate with some turkey, gravy, and maybe
some other low carb veggies and most
importantly, enjoy!
