Thanksgiving is upon us. What is the first thing you think about when you year Thanksgiving Day? Some think Football, some think family. The most common response to that question is Turkey. Have you ever thought about having Thanksgiving dinner without turkey?
For people with PKU, it's a common thought. They hear Thanksgiving and the first thing they think of is NOT turkey. I think of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Honestly, Thanksgiving dinner is just the same as any dinner, except there is more family around to share it with.
At my family dinner there is turkey, ham (sometimes), mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, gravy, and an assortments of pies. So, of course no one goes hungry, but no turkey. Try having one plate at Thanksgiving dinner with no meat.
Until next time,
Phe
