The Thanksgiving table can be a sight for hungry eyes. And while our
bellies crave this annual feast, it’s important not to gobble up too
much food.
• Steam or sauté your veggies in olive oil for a healthier
alternative to high-calorie casseroles
• Remove the skin from your turkey and top your meat with cranberry
sauce or chutney instead of gravy
• Say no to bread, rolls or biscuits and no thanks to second
helpings
• Take a walk with the kids or other family members after you’ve
eaten
Whether it’s your first or your twenty-first turkey to carve, these
steps will ensure a Thanksgiving masterpiece.
• Start with the proper tools: sturdy carving board, a sharpened
knife, serving fork and a warm platter
• Let the bird rest for 15-20 minutes, then remove the stuffing and
set it aside in a warming drawer
• Remove the legs and thighs by pulling the legs gently outward and
inserting the knife into the joints; repeat this same step to remove
the wings
• Slice the meat in a downward slant and place the slices on top of
one another to keep them warm on the platter
