German Red Cabbage

Sweet potatoes are a Thanksgiving staple, but I can't tolerate another year of mushy, sticky, marshmallow covered grease. Those vitamin A delivering darlings deserve better than that! So last year, I converted a family favorite into friendlier fare. And it's vegan to boot. (No, the meat-itarians didn't notice either). How about them apples!?

There are so many ways to make dressing, so I have combined several of the recipes that I have and come up with this one. Instead of using the canned chicken broth you can use homemade if you're making a chicken to go with this, and you can also add the shredded cooked chicken to the stuffing before baking.

AN ADDITION TO THANKSGIVING DINNER.

a light version of an old favorite

Traditional dish modified from Lebanon

I personally like to make individual cakes in muffin tins. It helps with portion control, and I don't have to deal with an entire cake. I spread out the batter into 24 muffin tins.

If I want to use a Bundt pan, I cut this and freeze it in individual baggies to avoid temptation!

The original recipe calls for 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, which is drizzled on top of the cake. It will up the calorie count a wee bit, though and I don't think the cake needs it.

Gravy gets a bad rap, but this tasty sauce can be made with almost no fat.
The trick is to skim the fat from your pan juices (either put it in the fridge or use cheesecloth to soak up the fat).
Depending on their size, turkeys will yield varying amounts of juices. From a 12-pound roasted turkey, you can expect about 1/2 cup defatted jus (juice).

This is our version of a crustless pumpkin pie. All the goodness of pumpkin without the shortening and while flour in a crust.

Pumpkin Pie that's low in fat and sugar free for diabetics

Michael Jr.'s Second grade Teacher Mrs. Jones gave the kids this recipe to try after Thanksgiving. It's a great way to serve leftovers.

This is my own version of this stuffing. It is absolutely tasty AND healthy! Ezekiel Bread is a dense, chewy, flour-less bread made with a variety of whole grains that are minimally processed to keep them as close as possible to what nature intended them to be. You can find it in the frozen section of healthy food grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Wild Oats or Trader Joe's. I had to guesstimate how many tbsp 10 shallots (baby onions) would be, so the calorie content may be slightly off because of that! You can also sub any loaf of whole grain bread for the Ezekiel Bread if you can't find it and vegetable broth instead of chicken if you want to keep this vegan, but it will change the calorie content of the recipe as posted. Recipe nutritional info as posted uses plain Ezekiel Bread and chicken broth.

This is the most moist turkey you will ever meet.
