Our favorite traditional holiday meals can be chock full of sugar and other unhealthy ingredients.

We also talk about little tweaks you can make to your recipes by using better, healthier ingredients in your holiday meals. We’ve got tips for your turkey (and the bones!), pumpkin pie, cranberries, sweet potatoes, and more. Good quality ingredients can really make the difference when it comes to your health and your diet, so try to do what you can to eat as well as you can.
