I wonder where all the carbs in this recip come from as they only carby
tings are 2 Tbs of molasses and 1 onion. Perhaps the omitted ginder beer
makes some of the difference. Also, where is the fiber? Aside from 1
onion for 8 portions, there are no other vegetables, onlu lots of
spices. Am I missing something?

I might try something like this with a turkey thigh.
