All the Fixings: 3 Nourishing Turkey Day Side Dishes
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving dinner is the sides (no offense,
bird). From classic savory dishes to family favorites shared on
well-worn handwritten recipe cards, this autumnal gathering is the
perfect time to bring rich flavors and comforting plates to the table.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t add a nutritious touch to your favorite
side dishes. Here’s how to add more nourishment to your favorite sides
with the right ingredients.
Planning Tip
Hosting an intimate soiree or organizing a potluck-style feast? Either way, shopping for clean cooking staples and grass fed meats online
before the big day can save you time and reduce last-minute shopping
stress. Best of all, you’ll get high-quality, nutrient-dense foods
delivered straight to your home.
Savory Stuffing
Traditional stuffing is a holiday staple as delicious as it is easy to
make. With a crispy exterior and a moist, fluffy interior, all you need
for this classic side dish is:
● bread (preferably stale or oven-dried)
● organic beef tallow
● onion
● celery
● herbs
● pasture raised eggs
● pastured chicken bone broth
After tearing your bread into chunks or cubes, sauté your veggies in
beef tallow. Season your mixture and bake until golden brown.
Comforting Green Bean Casserole
Crispy onions, fresh green beans, and savory mushroom sauce come
together in this nostalgic side. Turn up the flavor notch with these
tips and tricks:
● Bake thinly sliced onions with crushed pork rinds instead of traditional breadcrumbs for a crunchier, flavorful binder.
●
Level up your sauce by sautéing mushrooms in organic beef tallow
instead of industrialized seed oils to bring out its umami flavor.
● After blanching your green beans, thoroughly pat them dry to avoid a mushy or soggy casserole.
Nourishing Sweet Potato Mash
For a sweet twist on classic mashed potatoes, try mashed sweet
potatoes. This vibrant, healthier spud alternative combines cozy,
comforting fall flavors. You’ll need:
● sweet potatoes
● beef tallow
● half and half
● raw honey
● cinamon
● brown sugar
After boiling your sweet potatoes, add them to your liquid mixture,
mash, and stir until thoroughly combined. Top with bee pollen for a
light, nutty flavor and a dash of good-for-you nutrients.
