Healthy keto turkey salad cups is a really great way to eat a good for you healthy low carb dish. I love using nor just romaine hearts but any nutrition rich lettuce that will yield nice cups to hold this salad. My Keto Turkey Cups are a very healthy way of eating turkey salad without using any type of bread. When you take the bread out of the equation you remove all of the extra unwanted carbohydrates and that’s a big deal.
Those of you who are new to keto dieting may find it a little bit tricky to doing easy to prep meal options. These keto cups can help you whenever you desire something light but not quit a salad. Just the thought of all of the other ingredients and dressing to make a salad worth having might not appeal to you at the time. Keto Turkey Salad Cups can be made in advance and will hold well for at least 3 days.
I suggest using avocado oil too fry bacon in this recipe because avocado oil as a very high smoke point so it will tolerate a very high heat and you don’t want you bacon to taste burnt.
You will need to purchase nice and crisp lettuce that can hold its shape, and that’s the reason that I use romaine lettuce. Romaine lettuce is not only perfect for lettuce cups but any part that’s not used can be used as a part of a tossed salad.
When you prep the turkey for turkey salad even though it’s diced it’s never a bad idea to finely chop a little of it. This depends on your preference of course. A little finely chopped meat in any high protein salad will help it hold together better.
If you wish to make sandwiches out of your turkey salad and still stay within the limits a keto regimen there are many options for you.
