Episode notes
Turkey Isn't The Sleep Culprit
- Thanksgiving sleepiness usually comes from overeating carb-heavy meals, not turkey's tryptophan.
- Trent Horn highlights caloric overload and carbs as the real cause of post-meal tiredness.
Ham Over Dry Turkey
- Trent prefers honey-baked ham over turkey because turkey is often dry and hard to cook well.
- He only enjoys deli-sliced turkey and relies on gravy to rescue white meat when served at dinners.
Grab The Comfort-Carb Hits
- Rush for the crunchy fried onions, crescent rolls, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes at the buffet if you want the best Thanksgiving sides.
- Prioritize these carb-rich comfort foods when filling your plate according to Trent Horn's favorites.
