Ultimate Healthy Thanksgiving Dinner
To keep your waistline in check over the holidays, we’ve created a stunning
Thanksgiving feast that’s perfect for both large crowds and smaller groups.
These easy and healthy recipes are inspired by all of your favorite Thanksgiving
dishes—like stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and pumpkin pie—but they're
lighter, more nutritious, and (much) more delicious.
Thanksgiving tends to evoke the “feast” mentality, and it’s far too easy to
overload on your favorite comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, mashed
potatoes and gravy, and pumpkin pie.
Assuming that nutrient-rich foods are fair game for massive portion sizes. Even
though a Thanksgiving meal is inevitably going to be higher in fat, calories, and
sodium, you can minimize the damage by mixing in some healthier items.
These crudité platters, bite-sized savory tarts, creamy Greek yogurt-based dips,
and hummus would all be safe bets. For large groups, aim to serve at least two
appetizers. For smaller groups, one or two options are plenty.
