Gizdodo with Roasted Peppers (No Plantain)
Gizzard and Roasted Bell Pepper Stew

What it is
A popular Nigerian dish reimagined for keto, featuring tender fried turkey or chicken gizzards stewed in a rich, spicy tomato and bell pepper sauce. Traditionally served with fried plantain, this keto version replaces it with roasted bell peppers and zucchini as a low-carb alternative.
Key ingredients
Turkey/chicken gizzards, red bell peppers, habanero peppers, tomatoes, onions, palm oil (or vegetable oil), roasted bell peppers and zucchini (keto substitute), seasoning cubes, salt.
How to make it keto
Strictly omit fried plantain. Ensure the sauce isn't sweetened and uses roasted bell peppers/zucchini as a side or integral part of the stew.
Watch out for
Tomatoes and bell peppers contribute natural carbs, especially in large restaurant portions. Hidden sugars in tomato paste or seasoning cubes. Risk of restaurants including plantain if not explicitly excluded.
