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 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 wine.  Think Chardonnay.

*Wine Tips: To support your Keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, choose low-carb, low-sugar, and low-alcohol wines that are free of additives and artificial coloring.  Include your wine carb macros as part of your meal.  Remember, your liver will process alcohol before nutrients, pausing ketone creation and slowing the ketosis process. Your body will also metabolize alcohol as fuel before using food. This can slow fat burning and may cause your body to store carbs, fat, and protein as excess body fat.  Alcohol consumption also stimulates the appetite.  So, drink low-sugar, low-carb, and low alcohol wines in moderation.

WHAT IS SHARI MAC’S PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR KETO LOW-CARB DIET?

OMG, the Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker is the BEST appliance I’ve bought for myself to support my Keto diet. I stand behind this product 100%. I eat healthy high protein, sugar-free ice cream every night. I experiment with different ingredient combinations all the time. I purchased 5 additional containers so that I can make a week’s worth of ice cream at one time. I’ve made ice cream with cottage cheese and almond milk with protein powder; tofu with almond milk and protein powder; fat-free plain yogurt with almond milk and sugar-free jello and more! The machine shaves frozen pints perfectly with its one-touch programs.. You can prepare ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, lite ice cream and more.  Prep your base, freeze overnight, process, and enjoy!

Sometimes it takes more than one spin to get your desired texture. Select the re-spin function if, after processing, you want your processed treat softer and creamier. This unit is ONLY compatible with the Ninja CREAMi NC299 and NC300 pint accessories. It will NOT fit the NC100, NC200 or NC500 Series pints.

With the Ninja Creami you can enjoy healthy treats that taste just as good as regular ice cream loaded in bad saturated fat, sugar, and preservatives.

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

Let’s talk wine served with Keto Low-Carb Turkey Pot Pie.  Let’s look at the tastes, flavors and chemo sensory sensations going on in this dish.  The dish is over all savory.  The chemo sensory sensations (mouth feel) are crunchy from the crust and creamy from the turkey filling gravy.  Choose a white wine with crisp acidity and buttery texture.  The wine’s crisp acidiy will nicely contrast with the crunchy crust.  The wine’s buttery flavour will harmonize with the creaminess of the filling.  A buttery Chardonnay or Viognier.
