Lightened Up Thanksgiving Recipes Roundup

Thanksgiving is a day when eating a delicious meal is a top priority, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favorites in a lighter way! I’ve put together a collection of some of my best lightened up, Weight Watchers (WW) friendly recipes for Thanksgiving, all right here in one post for easy access. I’ll try to update this post each year with new recipes so it can continue to be your one-stop shop for a healthy, tasty holiday meal.

I split the recipes into side dishes and desserts below (since we all know the main dish is covered!) and I also threw in some ideas for Thanksgiving Day appetizers and morning Fall breakfasts at the end of the post. Of course, there are tons of other recipes on my site, so if you want to peruse the entire list, check out my recipe index for more categories (including a full listing under “all recipes”).
