Dinner at Home

We had a very carby pre-dinner snack...


Kraft Mac n' Cheese
Mmm, mmm, good.


Low Carb Turkey Tetrazinni
We had to use the leftovers from Thanksgiving, and Alexis remembered her mom used to make Turkey Tetrazinni. We attemped a low carb version.

-2 cups leftover, chopped turkey
-4 packages shirataki noodles
-1 cup shredded cheddar
-1/2 cup grated parmasean
-20 pearl onions, peeled and halved
-1/2 cup leftover gravy
-2 cups cream
-3 sprigs thyme, leaves only
-salt and pepper to taste

Boil the shirataki noodles for a few minutes, drain and set aside. In a saucepan, sautee the onions in a bit of olive oil until carmelized. Add the gravy and the cream and stir until smooth. Add the thyme, salt and pepper and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly. Mix the sauce, the cheddar, the turkey and the noodles in a large bowl and then pour the mixture into a large baking dish. Sprinkle the parmasean evenly on top and bake in a 350 oven until the parmasean is golden and bubbly.
