Thanksgiving recipes don’t need to be loaded with heavy and highly processed ingredients. The best part of Thanksgiving is that it connects us with not only our friends and family, but brings us back to eating home-cooked meals, even if it is only for one night. I have gathered 22 thanksgiving recipes from the blog-o-sphere that have a healthy twist. Enjoy and eat guilt-free.
Spaghetti Squash with Garlicky Kale and Chickpeas. I’m loving all the recipes Kelli from The Corner Kitchen has to offer. I tried this recipe vegan style and vegetarian style. For the vegan version substitute the Parmesan with 1 cup of nutritional yeast
Mushroom, Spinach, and Scallion Tart – This dish could easily be your meatless main. It has all the heartiness and cheesy love that anyone would devour. I substitute the milk for almond milk.
This is one of my favorites because you can’t even tell you are eating Cauliflower. I don’t have grill, although it’s the best on the grill, so I made these on a cast iron grill pan. They were still delicious and definitely a show stopper at the dinner table.
Gravy is often a heavy item. The mushrooms give this dish a creamy flavor. Swap the butter with earth balance if you want to this recipe to be vegan.
