Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Coat a large roasting pan with olive oil. Rub turkey on all sides with lemon juice and olive oil.
Mix the Low-Carb Moroccan Spiced Dry Rub. Rub 1½ tablespoons of mixture into the turkey.
Roast turkey (without liquid) for 1½ to 2½ hours or until the internal temperature registers 165°° F. Remove turkey and let stand for 10 minutes.
Gravy: Pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a saucepan and add the remaining rub mix. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and xantham gum or guar gum until smooth. Add the balance of the spice mix and cook, stirring occasionally, and add in xantham gum or guar gum slowly until desired thickness is achieved.
Slice the meat from the breast and serve with the gravy and your favorite side dishes.

ENCORE: Refusing Holiday Food and Staying Low-Carb – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 23

CarbSmart Podcast Episode 23: Refusing Holiday Food and Staying Low-Carb can be tough at first but you can do it to avoid the Food Pushers. The holidays are straight ahead, and with them piles and piles of carby junk, and worse, people nagging you to eat the stuff. Why so many people think that saying things like "But you have to eat it! It's traditional!" and "I worked all afternoon making it just for you" constitutes an expression of holiday goodwill, I have no idea, but sadly this behavior is all too common. You need to think ahead about how to respond to this sort of thing.
