Give Thanks for These Low-Carb Thanksgiving Recipes!

'Tis the season for pumpkins, spices, crackling fires and... The Thanksgiving Dinner

Many see Thanksgiving as the ultimate holiday - family, friends(giving), football, Black Friday sales - what's not to love? But for us PWDs (people with diabetes), the Thanksgiving meal has the potential to be a major stressor. All those carbs floating around (sourdough bread stuffing, sweet buttered rolls, endless cranberry fixings - you get the idea) will send our sugars soaring and put us in the ultimate post-meal food-coma. But this year, that doesn't have to be the case! We've hunted down some of the best low-carb, low-sugar Thanksgiving dishes out there (we are technically still in #NoSugarNovember mode), and there are some seriously good eats to choose from. No need to fret over the feast - these recipes are sure to keep you happy and healthy. Winner, winner, chicken(turkey)-dinner!
