Saturday December 14

I went off diet today. Someone gave me a thawed turkey a few days ago and I could not let it go to waste. I brined it for three days with salt and brown sugar. I used to stuff my turkeys with homemade stuffing but I have been told that the risk of salmonella is significant. So I improvised and stuffed it with cabbage. It came out great. I also added some bacon fat to the cabbage.

I also made a homemade stuffing and cooked it separately. High fat dish to which I added the innards.

I ate about 6 oz of turkey breast but I did not throw the skin away. I ate a small amount of stuffing (off-diet) and ate about a third oz a gizzard. I had some cabbage that was smothered in turkey fat and bacon fat.

Apple

Second meal: Turkey drumstick and stuffing. At least 10 oz. of dark, fatty, brined turkey meat.  Small serving of stuffing.
