I'm going to prepare a really healthy Thanksgiving dinner this year. I know if I just juice everything, it'll be lower in calories and I won't even have to chew!

First, you take:

One cooked turkey
1 lbs of stuffing
1 can of jellied cranberry sauce
biscuits (the US kind, not the weird English ones that are really cookies)
gravy
kale for extra protein

...and then you stuff those *kitten* in your juicer and let her fly! I can't wait for Thanksgiving this year! How are YOU going to make this fancy American feast of ours into an explosion of health and wellness?

    Where's the mashed potatoes? Would make a good binder for everything.

    I love your idea, but to make it extra hard and tedious, I am blending it all and then squeezing it through my nut milk bag.

    LOL omg I am doing a clinical in a nursing home and for the residents on puree diets you obviously have to blend EVERYTHING up. Although it's individual. But it can smell so - weird and look so disgusting. I almost gagged thinking of this..... lol

    I know this must be a joke. But the OCD in me wants to challenge how this would be lower in calories considering your body would use less energy since it doesnt have to chew and process everything.

    Now I'd have to add sweet potatoes to that mix. :) But skip the biscuit.

    Why can't we just chew and not swallow? That's got to reduce the calories by at least 90%.

    True story now...

    When I very first moved in to my house I made myself some mash potato for my tea along with whatever else I was having. my masher was still packed and for reasons best known to myself (I was only 21) it did not occur to me to use a fork. So I whizzed my potato in the blender. Seriously, it does something to the potato, it turned it into something like a cross between yoghurt and superglue in texture and the taste was incredibly sweet in the vilest imaginable way. It might be usable as a sort of wall paper paste but otherwise do not go there!
