Thanksgiving dinner can be one of the most fattening meals you eat all year. With a plate full of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and dessert, you can easily exceed your calorie limit for the entire day--in one sitting.

  1. Turkey tips. Of course the entire meal centers around the bird, but you can make it lower in fat by seasoning the bird with your favorite fresh herbs and spices and skipping the butter and oil on top. In addition, take the skin off of the turkey after you roast it and stick to eating the lower fat white meat. Also, don't douse your turkey in high-fat gravy--you can make lower fat gravy with a small amount of turkey drippings, fat fee chicken broth and sautéed veggies.
  2. Stuffing. Stuffing doesn't have to be laden with butter or sausage. Instead, use whole grain bread cubes and sautéed onions, celery and apples. To give it some extra flavor, add some fat free chicken broth instead of using water. Cut the butter in your stuffing recipe in half--you won't miss that extra butter at all!
  3. Lower fat potatoes. To make low-fat mashed potatoes, use just a small amount of butter and skim milk and add some extra flavor by using fat free sour cream. You can also flavor up your mashed potatoes by adding some minced garlic or garlic powder. If sweet potato casserole is more your thing, don't sabotage healthy sweet potatoes by adding butter, cream and marshmallow topping. Instead roast the sweet potatoes in their skins, then slice them open and top them with a little drizzle of butter and some brown sugar. ...
