Christmas Dinner

 I am proud to say, we  managed to prepare traditional Christmas Dinner entirely wheat/grain free and low carbs.
 And it tasted really good, too.
 Mostly from scratch but I also managed to find sugar free pickled onions and sugar/flour free mustard ( and locally too).
Working together and preparing certain things in advance, it was relatively easy, stress free
  We were given a beautiful, very large organic/free range turkey by M`s employer
 Judging by previous experience, we decided to only use the crown and place it on plenty of sage and onion staffing+ some meat balls.
 Still, it provided us with  a 3 days meal and the turkey breast came out VERY juicy ( basting and quality bacon slices, I guess.
Flour free gravy came out very nicely, too. I added a teaspoon of coconut flour which thickened it a little and it was perfect.
 Roast vegetables to complete the meal.
 Instead of Christmas pudding, we had poppyseed cake with plenty of dried fruit & nuts with kefir and coffee cream
