Healthy Thanksgiving Challenge Recipe Roundup
When I first started the Healthy Thanksgiving Challenge, I was a little worried that no one would participate. Silly me! I’m thrilled to report that 26 bloggers contributed amazing recipes. And many others offered kind words (and tweets) of support. I’m gratified to know that there is so much interest in making Thanksgiving a more heart-healthy holiday. So a big thank-you to all of you.
I’m posting the roundup now to make sure people can use this as a menu planning resource. I will add new entries here as they come in up to the day before Thanksgiving. The day after T-Day, I’ll announce the winner of the book giveaways (one blogger and one commenter will have the choice of Myra Kornfeld’s The Healthy Hedonist Holidays
UPDATE: The winners were Valentina from Cooking on the Weekends and a commenter named FridayDelights!
With no further adieu, here are the recipes! The photos are linked to the original posts, so click away. I’ve also included three recipes I developed for the Challenge, and the ones from my two guest posters, so everything is in one place. Enjoy.

ooo so MANY ideas!! Thanks so much for the roundup I love it!
I’m thrilled to be included, Cathy! So many gorgeous, inspiring recipes here. (I’m new to the concept of vegetarianism that is also genuinely healthy – I’d would have thought the two would go together automatically, but in fact they often don’t.) I’d love to try them – one thing, is it possible to provide link to the recipes/blogs shown? (Or I could use Google, I know.)
Oh wait – we’re sent to the blog by double-clicking the photo. In the words of Emily Litella, “Never mind”.
SO happy I could contribute to your event Cathy
Thank you!
Yes Janice, the links should work. Sorry the mechanism isn’t more apparent, bit it’s a miracle I was able to figure out the slideshow thing at all – I’m so proud of my technical ability here!
Once I figured it out, I was duly impressed (I wouldn’t know how to do it. I’m just mastering making a word or phrase into a link.) One suggestion I have is to add the line “To see the recipes double-click photos” or somesuch, either the end of the post or above the photos themselves (Maybe in italics?) For the simple minded folks like me. (Fortunately I no longer need to read the instructions on the shampoo bottle.)
Cathy, You did an amazing job! This is such a fabulous hub here for stellar healthy food. I’ve sent it to all my carnies and veggies alike. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of it! Jillena
Thanks for including Wonderland Kitchen in your super-cool presentation, Cathy. I still feel new the community, so it’s also lovely to be introduced to the work of so many great bloggers.
Cathy! I would have joined if I knew about this! Sorry it took me forever to get here. It was nice meeting you at IFBC. Awesome roundup! So much good food. Nom!
What a phenomenally festive assortment of recipes! I’ll be adding many of them to my faves. I’m happy I was a part of your first successful hosting event, Cathy. I’m sure it’s the delicious first of many. Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, what an amazing roundup. This is a great collection of recipes, right here! And great job on putting everything together, Cathy!
Thanks again for inviting me, I am truly honored to be a part of this challenge.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
My pleasure, Sonia. Your recipe was one of the star players in the Challenge.
Wow! How many people are you feeding?! Looks wonderful!
Such a fun round-up, Cathy! I hope you’re doing it again next year. =)
loved being a part of this — ALL of the recipes look delicious!
I’m def having a healthy thanksgiving next year! I’m still stuffed and now sick! I hope you do it again next year.
also, I wondered did you announce the prize recipients? I’m not one of them, obviously or else I’d know about it by now, but it’ll be fun to see who was – or is that tucked into another post and I missed it? (Always a possibility with me.)
Sorry, I contacted the winners but forgot to mention them in the post. That has been corrected. The winners were Valentina from Cooking on the Weekends and a commenter named FridayDelights. Hope they enjoy the books.
I am truly honored to receive one of those amazing cookbook, Cathy. Thanks & Have a Happy New Year!!
