Thanksgiving is the time to indulge, so do it with low-carb recipes that have less than 8 carbs per serving. Now that's something to be thankful for. There’s no prep like home-style when roasting the big bird. Instead of sage stuffing with turkey, fill this bird with fresh sage and thyme sprigs for the same delicious flavors.
Giada's Tuscan Thanksgiving menu includes shareable appetizers, two Northern Italian-style desserts, a unique riff on the turkey centerpiece, as well as a bounty of fresh vegetables. (The latter detail is right in line with De Laurentiis' latest cookbook, Eat Better, Feel Better, which details the strategies she used to improve her gut health .)
While the staff at Giadzy call this meal plan a "cleanse," it's designed to help you eat more healthy foods rather than restrict the amount of food you eat. "Going into 2022, we're all about feeling good," the Giadzy staff writes.
If you are hoping to keep your low-carb diet during the holidays here are some tasty sides that are full of flavor but light on carbs. Mashed potatoes are delicious but this creamy mashed cauliflower is a great alternative and has less than 9 grams of carbohydrate per serving.
