Festive Season ahead
A roasted turkey or chicken can make a delicious, special meal. However, this can spell trouble for some dieters when it is prepared with extra fat, or made with high fat, high calorie stuffing. Not to mention topping a roast off with gravy adds a lot of extra fat calories.
There are several ways you can enjoy the meal without going overboard. First, you can make sure you consume the breast meat and remove the skin. Let someone else enjoy the dark meat in the drumstick. It will save you quite a few fat calories. You can also save some calories by leaving off the gravy. If you're preparing the roast, you have the advantage of leaving out excess calories. For example, you can cook the stuffing separately from the bird. This will help prevent the fat from soaking into the stuffing. Also, you can look for a low sodium, low fat stuffing recipe. For example, you can stuff a bird with fruits or whole onions and herbs.
So when you want to enjoy a roasted turkey or chicken, you don't have to worry about missing out. Taking a few little measures to save you on fat calories will help you fit in a tasty, traditional meal.
