Healthier Holiday Meal Cooking Tips
There are many ways to keep your holiday meal from tipping the scales!
- Prepare stuffing separately from the turkey to let the fat juices drip into the pan.
- Decrease the amount of turkey dripping you add to the gravy, skim the fat off the top of drippings before you add it, or skip it altogether.
- Replace 1/3 of the bread in your stuffing with vegetables for less calories and fat and more fiber.
- Make pumpkin pies with evaporated skim milk and 1/3 less sugar than the recipe calls for.
- Serve whole wheat rolls instead of white flour ones.
- Make cookies with 1/3 less sugar. You won't notice the difference!
