That task can be difficult at times, especially when holidays meant for indulging are approaching so quickly. So we're sharing these 10 recipes that are sure to save you from artery-clogging madness this Thanksgiving. After all, Thanksgiving is about sharing and being thankful…you'll thank us later. 1. Healthy Roasted Turkey: Save the holiday tradition and cut the calories with this roasted turkey. The mixture of seasonings makes you forget just how healthy this really bird is.  2.Green Beans with Shallots and Pine Nuts: You don't have to be vegan or on a gluten-free diet to enjoy this amazing side dish!  3.
