Lean Thanksgiving meal plan
Ingredients
6 oz of lean Turkey Breast meat
Spaghetti Squash with Smart Spread and a packet of Splenda and 2 dashes of cinnamon
(this replaced Thanksgiving yams or Sweet potato casserole)
Green Beans
Mashed Cauliflower with Smart Spread
(this replaced mashed potatoes)
Salad with dressing
Sugar free Cranberry Cherry Jello with whipped topping
(this replaced our 2 cranberry dishes-- a cranberry cherry jello salad and a homemade cranberry relish)
and for my dessert, later on that evening I had a Pumpkin Spice Shake.
Instructions
Lean Turkey breast was panned seared slowing with 1 Tbsp of EVOO for the entire pan. I cooked enough for 8 people. I used a little crushed garlic and some Mrs Dash for the seasonings.
Spaghetti Squash-cooked at 400 degrees for one hour in the oven then I scraped it out of the shell and served it hot with some smart spread and Splenda sweetener.
The cauliflower was cut into small pieces, cooked till tender, then mashed and served with a little Smart Spread.
The sugar free jello was super tasty.
Enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Shake for dessert and you will go to bed feeling satisfied yet your body will be burning off the fat.
