Bacon-wrapped turkey should silence the haters.
The Paleo diet is built around the principle of "eating the way our ancestors ate." It can get confusing, and there are some grey areas , but for the most part, these are the rules:
NOT PALEO: Dairy, grains, processed sugars, white potatoes, legumes*, alcohol.
PALEO APPROVED: Meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, healthy fats, certain unprocessed sweeteners and sugars (honey, maple syrup, and agave are OK).
This presents a little bit of a challenge on Thanksgiving, a holiday that traditionally involves gluten-filled bread stuffing and lots of butter. But, with the right recipes, it's possible to have a holiday dinner with all of your favorite Thanksgiving staples.
*Legumes include beans, lentils, and peanuts
