Thanksgiving is that glorious time of year when we gather ‘round the table, stuff ourselves silly. And try to avoid political debates! But let’s be honest - between the turkey and the pies, it’s a challenge to keep things healthy. Fear not, our feathered friends! We’re here to help you whip up a healthy Thanksgiving dinner. One that’s both delicious and nutritious. So grab your aprons and let’s get cookin’ - the healthy way!

Gravy: Pour Decisions Made Right

First things first. What's Thanksgiving without gravy? It’s like a turkey without a wishbone. Let’s keep it tasty without the guilt! Instead of your typical butter-bomb gravy, let’s jazz it up with some avocado oil. This liquid gold will keep things smooth and healthy. Or mix in a little Simply Organic Gravy Mix for that rich, flavourful punch. Now your turkey will be swimming in healthiness. Consider it a spa day for your meat!

Slimmed Down Sides: Less is More

Now, let’s dive into the side dishes. This is where the real party happens! We all love a good creamy mashed potato, but nobody wants to roll out of the house afterward. Swap your traditional sour cream for some delightfully decadent dairy-free vegan sour cream. Trust us, your waistline will thank you!

And while you’re at it, drizzle on some low fat avocado oil ranch dressing to your veggie platter. Not only does it taste like a creamy dream, but your veggies will be begging you for a second serving!

Pie: A Slice of Heaven

Ah, dessert - the pièce de résistance of any Thanksgiving dinner. But who says pie has to be a guilty pleasure? Let’s make it a guilt-free pleasure instead! Start with organic pumpkin pie mix. 

To make your crust healthier, try using gluten-free wholegrain oat flour or organic lupin flour. It’s a duo that’s bound to make your crust flaky and fabulous! Top it off with some unsweetened pumpkin spice dairy-free creamer for a drizzle that says, ‘You’ve got this, pumpkin!’

Leaf it Up With Salads

You might think salad is just a sad pile of greens. We’re here to prove the notion wrong! Grab a fresh mix of greens and add a splash of creamy Italian dressing for that zingy flavour. You’ll be turning heads and bending forks!

And don’t forget to drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil for a gourmet touch. Because who wouldn’t want to feel like a Michelin-star chef while tossing greens!?

Finally, A Berry-Licious Cranberry Sauce

We must address the unsung hero of Thanksgiving - cranberry sauce! It can often be an overly sweet affair. But we’re giving it a healthy twist! Use granular sugar replacement to sweeten things up without the guilt. Don’t want to go through the shenanigans? Grab some Sprague Grandma’s Wild Cranberry Whole Berry Sauce for that classic flavour we all crave. Trust us, it’s berry, berry good!

There you have it, our Thanksgiving-loving pals! A scrumptious, healthy Thanksgiving dinner menu that will have your friends and family gobbling it all up. Minus the food coma that usually follows! With these tips, you’ll be the Thanksgiving hero we all need. So, bust out those cooking skills and let’s feast. Healthily, of course! Happy Thanksgiving, and may your turkey be moist and your pants stretchy!
