How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary marinades or glazes are used. Request that any accompanying gravy is not thickened with flour. Crucially, served without traditional carb-heavy sides like potato gratin, polenta, or bread. Ask for a generous portion of green, non-starchy vegetables (e.g., asparagus, broccoli).
