Stuffing is the most calorie dense dish on the holiday table. When else would we polish off a loaf of buttered bread with a few (very few) veggies at one sitting? This year allow your HMR Mushroom Risotto Entrée to be the starch and “glue” of a healthier stuffing and just add oodles of veggies! All that is left to provide on your healthy table is a bit of lean turkey with cranberry, a baked yam and your favorite green bean salad. Share the thanks and spare the calories!
