Have
a Healthy Side with Your Turkey: 4 Healthy Thanksgiving Side Dishes
What’s your favorite dish on the
Thanksgiving table? Turkey is the obvious star, but what about the sides? If
you’ve been working hard this year to lose weight, or you are on a diet, you
might be a bit nervous about packing on the calories on Turkey day. Don’t
worry, try one of these healthy spins on classic Thanksgiving sides.
Sweet
Potato-Pecan Casserole
Traditional sweet potatoes are
incredibly tasty, but they certainly aren’t the healthiest option. This version
replaces butter with an egg, and whipped potatoes make this dish creamy and
light. The pecans on top offer a great healthy crunch.
Green
Bean Casserole with Crispy Shallots
Lighten this classic up by ditching
the standard canned creamy soup and using low-fat milk to make the sauce you
crave. Crispy shallots add that crunch to make this signature dish a favorite
for many.
Herb
and Apple Stuffing
Perhaps the second most popular menu
item on the table at Thanksgiving is stuffing (or dressing). Keep the white
loaf or the box of stuffing in the cupboard for this lighter, healthier choice.
Use whole-wheat bread to help make this favorite a tad-bit little healthier.
Butternut
Squash Soup
You can’t have Thanksgiving without
a squash dish, right? It represents the warmth and heartiness of the season in
many ways. You and your family will warm up with this Butternut Squash Soup
recipe. Although this rich and hearty soup feels so thick and creamy, you’ll
fool everyone because there’s no actual cream in the recipe.
Don’t let your diet and healthy
lifestyle ruin your Thanksgiving, try these healthy side dishes from Food Network to lighten
up your Thanksgiving feast. After you enjoy your day, keep your healthy
lifestyle on track and work off those added calories at Fitness Together®.
