I have the solution for every meal on Thanksgiving Day to help you be prepared for all your guests to enjoy their breakfast, lunch, and dinner without feeling like they missed out with these great low-carb Thanksgiving recipes.
General Tips for Being Food Safe on Thanksgiving
Listen, I get it, you start drinking and eating and all the sudden someone puts a deviled egg in their mouth after it has been sitting out for a few hours. So here is the scoop on being safe - Don't let your food chill for more than 2-hours after you have cooked it or pulled it from the fridge. Most of the low-carb foods are also way better when they are hot or chilled anyway.
