In reply to Ann Kelly. Hi Ann, the term spices in a US product regulated by USDA such as meat & poultry could denote onion and garlic. Fresh would likely be best. I am not sure we need to get too micro with these small amounts of spice added to a big turkey...but certainly it might make a difference for some people that are very very sensitive.

GREat Ideas. Thanks. As far as the green bean bundles go here is an alternate suggestion: Instead of taking the time to wrap beans cut up ow leave whole as desired. Cut pancetta and provolone into chunks. Toss with a small amount of oil and spread over a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake as directed for a few minutes to desired doneness. Put into serving dish and sprinkle on parmesan cheese. I have fibromyalgia, so I avoid any fussing whatsoever. So I can eat this FODMAPPED version of green bean casserole without the fuss. And if I want a taste loser to green bean casserole, nothing wrong with tossing in some green onion or leek greens and some cut mushrooms, roast all together then serve with cheese on top! May want to throw scallion greens a few minutes before done, as they take very little time to cook. Or just garnish with them and the parmesan. Great jumping off point. Thanks for all your hard work on out behalf, Kate.

Your information has done wonders for me controlling my fructose malabsorption issues. I have a question regarding turkeys. Most frozen turkeys are injected with broth which I assume have onion and garlic. Fresh turkeys list spices ?? not sure what those consist of. Would a fresh or frozen turkey be better?

Thanks you for all your hard work. Happy Holidays.

I always look forward to these holiday-themed posts! I’m hosting my S.O.’s parents this Thanksgiving, so trying to find a happy medium between traditional food for them (what I’ll probably avoid i.e., stuffing) and yummy FODMAP friendly foods that we all can enjoy!

Thanks again for these great ideas and hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your family.
