Before you jump to Leftover Thanksgiving Gumbo! recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Choosing Fast Food That’s Very good For You.

Almost each and every “get healthy” and “weight loss” article you study will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. This is really very true. Sometimes, though, the last thing you want is to have to cook meals from scratch. Sometimes you just want to hit the drive through on the way home and call it a day. There isn’t any reason that you shouldn’t be permitted to do this and not be plagued by remorse about slipping on your diet. You can do this because most of the popular joints are now advertising “healthy” menu selections to keep their businesses up. Here is the way to eat healthy when you visit the drive through.

Choose water, juice or milk as a drink. When you consume a huge soft drink you are adding a whole bunch of empty calories to your day. A single portion of soda is typically thought to be eight ounces. That helping normally includes at least a hundred calories and more than a few tablespoons of sugar. A fast food soft drink is typically at the very least twenty ounces. It is usually no less than 30 ounces. This means that just buying a soft drink will add cupfulls of sugar and thousands of empty calories to your diet regime. Milk, fruit juices or plain water are more healthy options.

Standard logic tells us that one sure way to get healthy and shed pounds is to drop the drive through and to remove fast food restaurants from your thoughts. While, for the most part, this is a good strategy, if you make intelligent choices, there is no reason to feel guilty for visiting a drive through one or two times a month. Often the thing you need most is just to have somebody else do the cooking. When you choose healthy menu items, you do not have to feel guilty about visiting the drive through.

Steps to make Leftover Thanksgiving Gumbo!:
  1. Mince all vegetables, set aside. Remove fatty parts from ham and cut into 1 inch pieces. Heat butter in skillet and sear ham. Drain if ham releases a lot of fat and return to skillet. Add 2 cups of water and scrape sear from bottom of the pan. Reduce to lowest heat setting and allow to slowly simmer while you prepare the rest of the gumbo.
  2. Have a few quarts of water set to side of stove (you will need it when roux is done). In a Dutch oven use medium setting to heat oil. Test for readiness by dropping a pinch of flour into pot, if it sizzles, it's ready. Add flour one cup at a time and whisk until all is incorporated. Lower heat to medium low (I set mine on 3 or 4) and CONSTANTLY stir with metal or wooden spatula until roux is the color of chocolate. This takes 20 to 30 minutes. I pull up a bar stool, have a seat and stir :)
  3. When roux is ready add your vegetables and continue to stir for a few minutes more until roux is shiny and smooth. Add water that was set aside and stir.
  4. Add leftover gravy and stir
  5. Add ham and water it's been simmering in.
  6. Add mashed sweet potatoes and stir.
  7. Fill pot with water until about 3/4 full. Add all of your seasonings and slowly bring to boil stirring occasionally. Lower heat and simmer 30 minutes.
  8. Add Turkey and cook another 10 minutes
  9. Serve with leftover cornbread dressing
