Favorite recipes often contain lots of fat and calories. Using pureed fruit, low-fat whipped cream and other reduced calorie items can make Thanksgiving favorites lighter and there's no need to do a complete overhaul.
Yogurts increase nutrition while decreasing fat.
For dippers, try veggie sticks and baked pita squares. Fat-free sour cream or yogurt can also be used in salad dressings. Steam veggies and add herbs or nuts for flavor. For the turkey stuffing, moisten bread crumbs with fat free broth, bake the stuffing outside of the bird to keep calories down and keep the stuffing safe from bacteria. Top with whipped evaporated skim milk or fat free whipped topping.
