Season your turkey under the skin so the meat can be removed while the meat maintains the flavor. Instead of stuffing the stuffing, bake it in a dish, so fat from the turkey can't seep in. Pureed cooked vegetables are an excellent way to thicken sauces and soups. Pureed potatoes or carrots for example can replace the traditional roux or cream. Two egg whites can replace one whole egg in any recipe.
Fruit juice is great as a marinade and as an oil substitute in salad dressing.
Experiment with apple, orange, pineapple and white grape juice. Substitute 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for each 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate in a recipe. Add up to one teaspoon instant coffee per recipe to highlight the chocolate flavor. A good substitute for cream cheese is low fat quark cheese. Every tablespoon of fat adds an extra 100 calories that your body would rather store that burn off.
