Did you know that 70-80% of our immune cells live in our gut? This is why it’s key to keep our gut microbiome thriving & happy. Especially when our schedule is full between work, preparing for the holidays, socializing & indulging!
An easy & delicious way to support both your gut health & immune system this holiday is to have your turkey with my Spiced Low-Carb Cranberry Sauce! This sauce is sweetened with orange & stevia instead of sugar (which suppresses our immune system). And cinnamon & ginger add a warm festive flavour. It’s incredibly easy to make & tastes way better than store bought!
Ginger & cranberries are gut & immune health superstars! They both have antibacterial, antiviral & anti-inflammatory properties and they’ve been shown to increase the diversity & growth of beneficial bacteria.
Serve this sauce with your chicken & turkey dishes this winter for a cozy & health-supportive meal!
Directions
Add all ingredients to a medium size pot over medium heat & bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low & simmer until the cranberries have burst & the sauce has thickened. If it is too thick, simply add more water.
Taste & adjust seasonings.
This sauce freezes beautifully. I like to double the batch & freeze extra for later!

Notes
How to Serve - This is great with any poultry dish, you can also mix it with yogurt & top with granola, add it to your muffin batter or use it like jam!
Too Watery? - It will thicken when it cools but simply let it simmer for longer if it’s too watery!
