Healthier Thanksgiving Recipes

Although hard to believe, Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching... While it can be scary to abandon or even adjust perennial favorites, there are lots of healthy & tasty alternatives like:
- Eating Well's Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes, Menus & Cooking Tips (more below the slideshow),
- Cooking Light's 13 Great Thanksgiving Meals,
- Better Homes & Garden's Heart Healthy Holiday Recipes,
- Food Network's Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes, etc.

For our health conscious foodies, try:
- Diabetic Gourmet's Diabetic Thanksgiving Recipes,
- Food & Wine's Healthy Thanksgiving, or
- Bon Appetit's Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes (if the Food Coma Just Isn't Worth it).

Or, lighten your own favorites with:
- American Heart Association's Making Holiday Traditions Healthy &
- Eat Smart Move More's Top Healthy Recipe Ingredient Substitutions.

** Note:  While these recipes are lightened, some are still calorie-laden (& could be further improved). So, next week, we'll discuss reasonable Thanksgiving eating strategies!
