Thanksgiving is approaching quickly, and I’m noticing people are checking out the Thanksgiving Recipes for ideas! But before you get your menu completely set, I want to remind you about this collection of My Top Ten Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes, plus Ten Honorable Mentions. These are my absolute favorites, and some of these are recipes I make every year for Thanksgiving.

And since this is once-a-year holiday food for me, not every recipe here is low-carb or gluten-free, although quite a few of them are. I promise you’ll find some very tasty options here, whether you’re keeping it strictly low-carb for Thanksgiving or indulging a bit more for the holiday meal. Just click the link for any recipe and use the tags at the top to see which diet types that recipe is suitable for if you want that information.

But if strictly low-carb and gluten-free is what you’re looking for, check out the Low-Carb Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Ups at the bottom of this post for plenty of amazing ideas for holiday foods.  Hope those low-carb and gluten-free round-ups are helpful for anyone who’s working hard to keep the menu low in carbs or gluten-free! 

Now, let’s talk about my healthy Thanksgiving favorites. And if you’ve tried one of these favorites in years gone by, I’d love to hear how you liked it in the comments!

Let’s start with Stuffing Muffins with Sausage and Parmesan. I’ve made these the last few years, and this is something everyone in my family asks for.

This Easy Brussels Sprouts Gratin is so good it just might win over some Brussels Sprouts avoiders!

Sweet Potato Gratin was something we couldn’t stop eating when we tested the recipe, and when I made it for some food blogging friends they loved it too. This year I’m going to my sister Pam’s house and her kids have requested that I bring this!

Sugar-Free Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake is something I’ve been making for Thanksgiving since 2006, and last year took a better photo to show how good this is!

Another recipe I’ve swooned over for a few years is this amazing Brussels Sprouts Salad with Bacon, Almonds, and Parmesan.  If you’ve never tried raw Brussels Sprouts, they’re really delicious; toss in some dried cranberries if you don’t mind a few more carbs.

I can tell when it’s getting close to Thanksgiving by the visits to this recipe for Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms, Balsamic, and Parmesan; this recipe has been Pinned and viewed on the blog millions and millions of times!

I describe this Low-Sugar Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie as being a cross between cheesecake and pumpkin pie, and I make this every year. There are some tips in the recipes if you want to make it even lower in sugar as well.

I could never skip this Broccoli Gratin without protests from some of my family members, who think this is a must-have vegetable dish for Thanksgiving.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic, Parmesan, and Pine Nuts is the first Brussels Sprouts recipe I made for the blog and I still love this recipe. Many people have raved about this one through the years!

And finally, another recipe that quickly became a Thanksgiving favorite was these absolutely amazing Sweet Potato Appetizer Bites with Feta.
