Many people who are dairy free can eat butter safely because it only has trace amounts of lactose. Yes, ghee can definitely be used instead, as can bacon grease, coconut oil or olive oil as indicated in the Instructions.
Ground turkey naturally has less fat than ground beef so you may need to add some bacon grease or extra butter to compensate.
I am going to also do the Asian Cabbage stirfry and the Cabbage with Blue Cheese as well.
Since going Keto I find we are saving sooooo much money on food. By not buying packaged products etc, just fresh veges, meat, chicken, Whipping Cream we use in our COFFEE MACHINE instead of milk and makes ADDICTIVE KETO COFFEE, it is absolutely delicious and think coffee franchises need to start offering it. People would pay more for KETO COFFEE.
Very happy with Diet Doctor site and have joined the monthly membership at a small cost for the information given out.
What a fabulous site. Fantastic recipes.
I think I overeat the protein though as don't lose weight.
You can look at the protein fat and carb count of your specific brand with sour cream to see how they compare.
It's tough to say, though using a higher carb brand of tomato paste may account for it. Carb Manager is generally good, but it's always a good idea to calculate your own macros as different brands of ingredients can vary in macro information.
We have not tested this recipe with fresh tomatoes so I don't have a quantity suggestion. If you decide to substitute, keep an eye on how that will affect the carb count.
Yes, this can be frozen and reheated.
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it!

You do not need to fear the fat. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fat However, it is not recommended to consume a diet of foods both high in fat and high in carbohydrates.
Great job adapting! I have trouble finding leeks in my local store and so I sometimes have to leave them out.
