Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate with family and friends. With the abundance of food on this holiday, it can be easy to overeat if you’re not careful. These 10 delicious skinny turkey sides are just what the doctor ordered for your Thanksgiving feast – they’ll keep you feeling full, help prevent weight gain, and even contribute to better health in the long run!

Thanksgiving is a time for gathering with family and friends. Enjoy these 10 delicious skinny Thanksgiving sides that are perfect for the holidays.

Thanksgiving is known for being a calorie-laden holiday, but with these 10 Deliciously Skinny Thanksgiving Sides, you’ll feel better the next day. I’ll keep my word!

So, let’s have a look at it. Of course, the turkey is the highlight of the Thanksgiving feast. As a result, that’s a given. Nana would never forgive you if you didn’t try a piece of her pumpkin pie at least once. However, assistance is on the way for sides and appetizers so that you may still fit into your slim pants after Thanksgiving…and not feel starved.  

Not only are these sides and appetizers low in calories, but they’re also low in fat and salt. You’d assume it’d be something along the lines of two beans on a lettuce leaf, right? Nope. How about Cauliflower with Creamy Cheesy Sauce, which has just 221 calories and 15 grams of fat per serving and practically melts in your mouth with deliciousness?

Only 160 calories and 12 grams of fat per serving in this easy yellow squash tian with caramelized onions and tomatoes and loads of Gruyere cheese. Ina Garten was the inspiration for this dish. Who doesn’t admire her? I tweaked it a little to make it healthier, but the taste is still there.

And you can’t go wrong with Brussels Sprouts during Thanksgiving, and these buttery Brussels Sprouts Braised are not only absolutely tasty, but they’re also healthy, with just 106 calories and 5 grams of fat.

A wonderful Thanksgiving side dish is the Tomatoes with Spinach and Parmesan Cheese, Roasted. When I went to a wonderful restaurant in Las Vegas, I was offered this as a side dish. And, to be honest, it was just as delicious as the seared fish I had had. So, of course, I had to reproduce it at home. The best part is that this side dish just has 37 calories and 3 grams of fat.

Roasted veggies are a great Thanksgiving side dish, and these Healthful Roasted Vegetables with Garlic are not only healthy but also tasty. They’re also low in calories, with just 83 calories and 5 grams of fat per serving.

Sautéed Spinach with Caramelized Mushrooms is another Thanksgiving side dish that I like. Totally luscious and utterly delightful. This side dish is ideal since it has just 174 calories and 9 grams of fat.

Have you spotted Parmesan Crisps at your local supermarket? They’re lacy, lovely, and utterly delectable. Unfortunately, when you purchase them, they’re also incredibly pricey. I’m not sure why, since these Frico Chips with Parmesan are very simple to prepare. Plus, each serving has just 16 calories and 1 gram of fat.

Pimiento cheese is another fantastic appetizer, and Sue’s Kicked-Up Pimiento Cheese is the best. This dish is acidic, smokey, and just excellent, unlike other Pimiento cheese recipes that are gloppy with mayonnaise. Another description I’ll use is addictive, since this Pimiento cheese is all of those things and more.

Finally, these Caprese Skewers with Green Olives are something I believe you’ll truly like. They’re great as a side dish or an appetizer for Thanksgiving. These lovely skewers with balsamic sauce have just 20 calories and 1 gram of fat.
