Keeping your blood sugar in check, while still enjoying some of your favorite Thanksgiving foods can be a bit of a challenge. Fortunately the star of the meal – the turkey – is actually pretty good for you. Lots of lean protein. Just stick to the white meat and skip the fatty skin and you’ll do fine.

With the side dishes and desserts it’s another story. Mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie, heck even the gravy you used to slater on that piece of turkey have now moved into the category of foods you should avoid. Does that mean that your Thanksgiving meal should consist mainly just of turkey? Not at all, you just may need to reinvent some of your old-time favorites.

Make your sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie with a no-calorie sweeter like splenda and indulge in a small portion. Use cauliflower instead of actual potatoes for your mashed potatoes and introduce some diabetic-friendly sides like steamed cauliflower or a side salad.

Here are some more great diabetic Thanksgiving recipes including turkey gravy and stuffing.

Happy Turkey Day!!
