Simple + healthy thanksgiving recipes your whole family will love. From veggie-loaded starters and sides, to meatless main course options, to heathier takes on classic desserts, and even some breakfast ideas! There’s something for everyone in this thanksgiving recipe round-up!
We made it through Thanksgiving Week with allllll the brand new thanksgiving recipes, and today I’m sharing a round-up of all my favorites. Each and every one is made with simple, wholesome ingredients, and designed specifically to give you more time with your family and less time in the kitchen. They’re all on the healthier end of the spectrum, but don’t let that fool you into thinking they’re any less flavorful or holiday-worthy. I’ll be making several of them this year for my family and find that people always enjoy having some vegetable-centered options alongside an often extremely heavy, rich, filling meal.
Whether you’re making the entire feast yourself, or just bringing a single dish with you to a family gathering, I hope your Thanksgiving is full of good food and lots of love.
Almost all of the recipes below can be made or prepped in advance, so get started today to keep your Thanksgiving day as simple and stress-free as possible.
If you’re hosting a smaller thanksgiving this year, many of the recipes below are easily halved to yield just 4 servings!
Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram if you make any of them!
See you back here soon with my annual Holiday Gift Guide!
