You can enjoy Keto Low-Carb Turkey Pot Pie all year round! Shawn and I eat turkey on a regular basis, not just during the holidays. We love Keto Low-Carb left-over turkey recipes.

Before the winter holidays, I always hunt for a very large turkey, knowing that Shawn and I will enjoy a plethora of leftover turkey recipes. The reason is that turkey is a lean protein that is optimal for lifting weights. Now over 50, I focus on weight lifting as part of my fitness regime. In the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences a study revealed that people with low muscle strength are 50% more likely to die earlier than those who are stronger. Now at age 61, I’m actually stronger than I have ever been, due to weight lifting.

Preparing for the new year, we are enjoying lower carb recipes, more Keto oriented dishes to lean out in weight. This is one of the dishes we really enjoy.

WHAT ARE THE NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF TURKEY?

What are the nutritional benefits of Keto Low-Carb Turkey Pot Pie? Turkey is high in tryptophan. Tryptophan acts like a natural drug, making us feel drowsy. That’s why we feel so tired after a big Thanksgiving or Winter Holiday turkey dinner. Research shows that tryptophan induces your small intestine to absorb more amino acids from the rest of your food. This means a mouthful of turkey can help in switching your body into the lean-muscle mode.

Tryptophan is an amino acid that we cannot create naturally in our bodies. It possesses many health benefits. It helps to reduce anxiety and alleviate depression and increase good mood, helps to suppress appetite, aids in cognition, and helps to improve memory.

WHAT IS THE TASTE PROFILE OF KETO LOW-CARB TURKEY POT PIE?

Keto Low-Carb Turkey Pot Pie is a delicious comfort food. The filling is high in umami from the slow-roasted turkey. The crust is slightly salty from the cheese (keto version), fatty (from the creamy butter), and

crunchy.

WHAT NON-ALC WINE HARMONIZES WITH KETO LOW-CARB TURKEY POT PIE?

In this Keto Low-Carb Turkey Pot Pie the predominant taste sensations are umami (depth of flavour) and fattiness. Turkey is a white meat and so works well with white non alcoholic wine. Think de-alcoholized Chardonnay.

Zero Alcohol Wine Tips:

ALCOHOL AND KETOSIS:

To support your Keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, opt for quality, non-alcoholic wines that are low-carb and low in sugar. Additionally, alcohol does not align with a keto diet or low-carb lifestyle. Moreover, your liver processes alcohol before nutrients, pausing ketone creation and slowing the ketosis process. Furthermore, your body will metabolize alcohol as fuel before utilizing food, which can decelerate fat burning and may lead to the storage of carbs, fat, and protein as excess body fat. Moreover, alcohol consumption stimulates the appetite, potentially causing overeating.

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH:

Did you know that when you consume alcohol, your liver has to work extra hard to break it down? This can result in damage to your liver. Furthermore, it can elevate your risk of health issues such as inflammation and cancer, particularly with heavy consumption. Additionally, alcohol can disrupt your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling dehydrated and disrupting your body’s normal functions.

NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE AND HEALTH BENEFITS:

Non-alcoholic wines with minimal carbs and sugar are advantageous for your health. They not only aid in weight management, blood sugar control, and hydration but also contain essential nutrients and antioxidants from grapes that can decrease your risk of health conditions like heart disease. Consequently, since they lack alcohol, they’re ideal for socializing without any adverse effects, promoting feelings of happiness and reduced stress.
