You probably didn’t realize it, but August holds National Cherry Turnover Day! We’d never blame you if you weren’t aware. But now that you are, why not make a delicious keto cherry turnover?
While it takes a bit of work, it’s absolutely worth it.
And, when you compare it to a commercially available turnover, you’ll be more motivated than ever to learn how to turn your turnover keto! Here’s how to make a turnover with only 6 grams of net carbs, but all of the flavor!
How did we accomplish this?
Two keys: One, we used low-carbohydrate flours such as almond and tapioca. Next, we used cranberries along with the cherries. Cherries are naturally sweet enough to overcome the tartness of cranberries, and they taste delicious! Give it a try.
