It is not just for Thanksgiving…..Cranberry Chutney Stuffed Turkey
I’m experimenting and getting ready for our Thanksgiving Feast. Part of the challenge is making healthier versions that kids will eat. My boys have said “why is everything so brown!” I loved that- it’s true I thought the same thing when I was growing up. BUT that brown food is sooooooo good! I’m not missing out though because the clean way is just as tasty.
Today I made a cranberry chutney. I have a great recipe- that doesn’t need to be followed exactly to turn out great. So…if you are missing an ingredient don’t worry skip it…as long as it’s not the cranberry!! I also made Brussel Sprouts with a easy Balsamic Syrup using Monkfruit Sweetner….so that takes the guilt away. I also played around with Pumpkin Butter so I could add it to my roasted spaghetti squash. It was fabulous- it reminded me of sweet potato casserole but in “noodle form”. It all worked so well together. All possibilities for that special day approaching soon!
