Every holiday I look forward to trying new, healthy and waist friendly recipes and re-inventing a few with my own twists. While I still have the usual cast of characters at my dinner table, I always throw in a few unexpected ones too. It’s fun to add new dishes to refresh your meals and it’s something special to look forward to. 

This year I’ve found so many wonderful recipes I have no idea I will ever chose. My list runneth over! Since I can’t make all of these dishes myself, I’m sharing this wonderful roundup of 30 healthy, skinny and delicious Thanksgiving recipes with you!

    Thanks for including me in this delish round-up, dear!

  2. Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says:

    Omg love this post! So many good recipes. Definitely saving this post for ideas next week. I am bringing something for a work potluck since I work on Thanksgiving.

    1. Megan says:

      These are perfect for a potluck other than the turkey maybe. 😉

  3. Kelly @ Kelly Runs For Food says:

    These all look so good! I’m never hosting Thanksgiving so I usually only get to bring one dish or so. It’ll be so hard deciding what to make this year!

    1. Megan says:

      That’s why I like to have my own even if I go somewhere then I have the leftovers for days.

  4. Shelly says:

    All of those recipes sound soooooo good! This year I’m in charge of making sweet potatoes, stuffing and an appetizer. My sister, who is adamant about having Thanksgiving at her house, is a terrible host and so my mom and I basically have to bring everything but the turkey. Good thing I love to cook! I plan on making Paleo dishes and watching with joy when no one has a clue that what they are eating is healthy .

    1. Megan says:

      LOL! Hilarious about your sister!!! And that’s why I love Paleo.

  5. Karen says:

    Oh wow, so many good food…mmm…those mashed potatoes by Pinch of Yum might be making a presence in my home soon. 😉

    1. Megan says:

      They look delicious!

  6. Lauren @ The Bikini Experiment says:

    Wow – this looks like an amazing line-up of recipes! Need to get ready myself this week!

    1. Megan says:

      Is it really next week? It seems like it should be farther away.

  7. Carolyn says:

    Thanks for sharing my pumpkin roll!

    1. Megan says:

      You’re welcome!

  8. Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says:

    annnnnnd now I’m starving! Thanks for the shout-out Megan!!!!

    1. Megan says:

      of course gorgeous!

  9. Michele @ paleorunningmomma says:

    Thanks for featuring mine! These all look delicious, time to start planning my menu a bit! As usual the planning is put off too long 🙂

    1. Megan says:

      Yours will probably be a new one to try & I can’t wait.

  10. Jessie says:

    Hahah! Looks like we had a very similar idea for today’s post, huh? 🙂 Great round-up.

    1. Megan says:

      Great minds think alike!
