Indulging in a traditional Thanksgiving feast is an annual delight, but it often involves a plethora of processed ingredients that may not align with your health-conscious choices. This year, why not embark on a culinary journey towards a less-processed Thanksgiving?
As you embark on your Thanksgiving shopping adventure, consider embracing local ingredients wherever possible. Many natural food stores stock an array of locally sourced, fresh produce, elevating your dishes and supporting local farmers—an endeavor that embodies the true spirit of Thanksgiving.
If you are able to find a good source for a Thanksgiving turkey, we recommend trying Crowd Cow. They offer turkeys from small farms and give you all the details on how it was raised so you can make sure it fits with your standards. And for other ingredients, we love Thrive Market. They have amazing prices on organic and natural food.
To help you embark on this quest for a healthier Thanksgiving, we’ve assembled a collection of recipes that champion wholesome, nutritious ingredients. From the star of the show, the turkey, to delectable side dishes like green bean casserole, and, of course, the quintessential pumpkin pie, this assortment promises a feast that is less processed but still delicious.
So, this Thanksgiving, let your culinary compass steer you towards a healthier and more nourishing path. With these healthy Thanksgiving recipes, you’re not just creating a meal; you’re embarking on a journey towards vibrant flavors, wholesomeness, and a more profound connection to the true essence of the season.
