Turkey tops the list of healthiest Thanksgiving foods. "Turkey is an excellent source of lean protein, helping to rebuild muscle and keep you satiated," Keatley says. "It's also rich in B vitamins and selenium, which support energy metabolism and immunity."

The article from Prevention.com discusses the health implications of various Thanksgiving foods, categorizing them into the best and worst choices for health. Best choices include roasted turkey breast, which is lean and high in protein; sweet potatoes, rich in fiber and vitamins; green beans, offering antioxidants and fiber; cranberry sauce, beneficial for its antioxidants and potential urinary tract health benefits; and pumpkin pie, which contains vitamin A and fiber, though it's advised to watch portion sizes due to its sugar content. Worst choices highlighted are stuffing, often high in sodium and calories from butter and bread; mashed potatoes with heavy cream and butter, leading to high calorie and fat intake; macaroni and cheese, loaded with cheese and cream; gravy, which can be high in fat and sodium; and pecan pie, which is calorie-dense due to its high sugar and fat content from pecans and corn syrup. The article suggests healthier alternatives and modifications to traditional recipes to make the Thanksgiving meal more nutritious.
