5 Ways to Trim the Fat from Your Thanksgiving Dinner

25 Nov 2020 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read
  • Skip the heavy appetizers. Why fill up on cheese and crackers when there is a nice home-cooked meal to enjoy?
  • Pass the rolls. This means less processed flour and less butter.
  • Reduce or eliminate your portions of gravy, cranberry sauce, and butter—the calories add up quickly. Also opt out of whipped cream or ice cream with your pie to save calories and fat.
  • Choose white turkey meat over dark. White breast meat has fewer calories per ounce because it is the least fatty part of the bird. And whatever you do, skip the high-fat skin.
  • Choose plain veggies or salad over creamed spinach, candied yams, or green bean casserole. Heavy cream sauces and marshmallow toppings always mean high-calorie.
