On the fourth Thursday of every November, Americans around the country get together with family and friends and give thanks for all that’s good in their lives -- including health. Thanksgiving Day is also a day full of food. From stuffing to turkey to potatoes, the holiday fare can be full of sodium and off limits to kidney patients. In honor of Turkey Day, the Kidney Kitchen is offering recipes for the entire holiday party so that those following the kidney-friendly diet can join the celebration.
Roast Turkey with Fresh Sage
Appropriate for CKD, Dialysis, Diabetes
1 teaspoon canola oil 1-12 pound fresh turkey ½ yellow onion diced 1 bunch fresh sage (.75 oz) 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Remove giblets and turkey neck from the cavity. Wash the turkey inside and out; pat dry. Remove any pinfeathers from the skin. Sprinkle the cavity with poultry seasoning and place the diced onion and fresh sage in the cavity. Oil the bottom of the roasting pan and place the turkey inside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours; the juices should run clear when you stick your fork between the drumstick and thigh bone. Remove from the heat, cover with foil and let rest 20 minutes before serving.
