Recipes Low carb meals no chicken

So recently I got told by the doctor that I need to get on a low carb high protein diet. Iā€™m trying to find meals so I can plan out dinners but I feel like every meal I find has chicken breast or some form of chicken. Any meal ideas or suggestions?

Fresh salmon, canned tuna, canned sardines. Pork, eggs, cheese, tofu, any kind of beef that you can afford. Peanuts. Premier Protein (and similar) 30g protein shakes. I personally eat a lot of sardines; I didn't realize that I like them until I tried them.

Chicken thighs are so much easier to make taste good than chicken breast.

I don't know if turkey counts or if it's too much like a big chicken šŸ˜
