Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, so I have lots of easy, healthy Thanksgiving recipes! I’ve got all the ideas you need, from the perfect juicy turkey and cranberry sauce, to comforting, healthy Thanksgiving sides and even desserts without refined sugar. Your family and friends will love these flavorful, gluten-free dishes packed with whole food ingredients.
The Main Dish
First things first, the turkey! Whether you want to cook a whole bird that’s nice and juicy, or prefer to choose a specific cut for a smaller crowd, I’ve got you covered. I recommend garnishing your platter with fresh herbs and citrus (like lemons or oranges)!

Healthy Thanksgiving Sides
I think the savory side dishes are what makes the holiday meal — and they’re probably the kind of healthy Thanksgiving recipe ideas you’re looking for the most, right? Many traditional options feel so “heavy”, but you can make my delicious versions with real food ingredients instead. They don’t skimp on flavor and texture, promise.
