Staying with the theme of less calorie and lower fat options here are a few ideas for those delicious extras we all enjoy with Christmas lunch.
CRANBERRY SAUCE is like jam and contains loads of sugar and around 70 calories per teaspoon - that's a lot! Look out for cranberry jelly which has about 30. The jelly also has a higher proportion of fruit - which is a good thing!
BREAD SAUCE - stick to basic mixes for around 60 calories per tablespoon. Luxury versions can have as many as 150 & suggest you add cream! Use skimmed milk and heat with a clove of garlic added for extra flavour.
GRAVY - to make lower fat gravy pour the turkey juices into a jug and wait for the fat to rise to the surface. Spoon this off and discard, then continue to make the gravy. If using stock look for the lower salt versions.
Happy Eating!
