Talking Turkey: MayoClinic.com Highlights Healthy Holiday Cooking
Rochester, MN (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for family, friends, good health and great food. This year, instead of serving the old, not-so-healthy standbys -- turkey smothered in gravy, candied yams, buttered corn and pumpkin pie -- try healthier Thanksgiving recipes (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/thanksgiving-recipes/NU00643) from MayoClinic.com.
MayoClinic.com offers a number of options for a fresh approach to healthy eating this Thanksgiving, including tasty recipes for turkey gravy and pumpkin soup. A new video on MayoClinic.com also provides users with instructions on creating a healthy Thanksgiving dinner (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/thanksgiving-recipes/NU00643).
Many holiday recipes can tolerate a healthy renovation without affecting the taste or texture of the food. MayoClinic.com offers a few tips and techniques to make recipes healthier:
-- Reduce the amount of fat, sugar and sodium. With most recipes, fat, sugar and sodium can be reduced without losing flavor.
-- Make a healthy substitution. Healthy substitutions not only reduce fat, calories and sodium, but also can boost the nutritional content. For example, use whole-wheat pasta instead of enriched pasta.
-- Delete an ingredient. In some recipes, ingredients can be removed altogether; likely candidates include items such as frosting, coconut and nuts, which are high in fat and calories.
-- Change the method of preparation. Healthy cooking techniques -- such as braising, broiling, grilling and steaming -- can capture the flavor and nutrients of food without adding excessive amounts of fat, oil or sodium.
-- Change the portion size. Smaller portions have less fat, calories and sodium and allow individuals to eat a wider variety of foods during a meal.
Mayo Clinic.com provides users with a number of healthy recipes (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-recipes/RE99999), nutrition facts (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-and-nutrition/NU00617) and grocery shopping tips (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-and-nutrition/NU00622) to use during the holiday season.
