The meat is usually the center of every holiday meal. However, whether you’re a vegetarian, or more interested in everything but the bird, this recipe is the perfect alternative.
Millet is a whole-grain that is naturally gluten-free, as well as a wonderful source of protein and fiber. According to health.howstuffworks.com, Millet is also a great source of fiber, copper, niacin, and manganese. If you’re not that into the turkey, the protein and fiber in the grain will help you feel full so you don’t over-stuff yourself on all of the sides and dessert.
