I need low fat and healthy Thanksgiving recipes, but I want something that's delicious and down home.?

I don't want something that calls for odd indredients like rhubarb, or zuchinni squash. I'd like something that taste great but just lower fat and calories. If you have time to copy and paste, or type up a few delicious sides for my turkey day dinner I would be the happiest person out there. I keep looking online, but haven't found anything yummy sounding yet. I know there is something out there. Please help.I need low fat and healthy Thanksgiving recipes, but I want something that's delicious and down home.?
This is from my Aunt's recipe box last year and although I don't really like Sweet Potatoes, I took a liking to this dish when I tasted it with the Turkey Breast!


Peeled and Sliced Sweet Potatoes, Peeled and sliced Tart Apples, sprinkle of dark brown sugar, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg and a drizzle of condensed milk. Put into a glass baking dish, covered with tin foil and baked for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover for the last 10 minutes and sprinkle some butter cubes and raisins on top, then continue baking for another 10 minutes and enjoy!!!!!!!! It's not my recipe, but one that I enjoyed immensely! Hope this is what you're looking for today, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

The way you PREPARE your sides is the answer. Omit a lot of the cream and heavy fats from your side dishes. Don't fix the green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup. Just add fresh mushrooms to green beans, a few soy bacon bits and a little fresh onion. Bake for 30 minutes for a flavorful and HEALTHY dish. Have roasted redskin potatoes instead of butter mashed. Coat quartered redskin potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, then a sprinkle of dried rosemary. Roast in single layer on a baking sheet, turning occasionally, until crispy brown on the outside---about 20 minutes--and fork tender. Much healthier.





Have a fresh green salad on the side. Roast your turkey! Everyone's happy and healthier!
Turkey itself is actually quite good for you - low fat, good quality protein. Roast sweet potatoes instead of mashing them.





Here's a great healthy side dish:


1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed


2 tablespoons olive oil


3 ounces paper-thin slices pancetta, coarsely chopped


2 garlic cloves, minced


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth


Partially cook the Brussels sprouts in a large pot of boiling salted water, about 4 minutes. Drain.


Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until beginning to crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts to the same skillet and saute until heated through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the broth and simmer until the broth reduces just enough to coat the Brussels sprouts, about 3 minutes. Serve.
