Healthy Selections for Thanksgiving 2023

November is a special time of year when family and friends come together to celebrate gratitude and share in the joy of a bountiful feast. Preparing a memorable Thanksgiving meal can be a delightful adventure, and it's not just about the food, but the sense of togetherness it represents. We are delighted to explore some delectable ideas and inspiration for creating a heartwarming holiday spread.

For appetizers, you could always try these bite-sized Roasted Artichoke hearts. Artichokes are loaded with nutrients that help promote healthy cholesterol levels. If you are entertaining a group, this Grazing Board keeps it wholesome! Not only is it easy to put together and nutritious, but every item is packed with flavor and various nutrients. Additionally, a Leek and Onion Puff Pastry would make an excellent afternoon snack. 

If you are trying to decide on a main course, a traditional Herbed Roast Turkey will be sure to keep your dining experience savory with sage! Those who want to spice things up can always try this Red Chile-Citrus Glazed Roast Turkey and Pan Gravy. Between red chiles, fennel, and parsley, the flavor is bound to be unforgettable! Vegetarians can benefit from a salad that not only offers a colorful display, but this Citrus, Beet, and Arugula salad with Halloumi croutons has so many heart, brain, and digestive benefits!

As 2023 nears closer to 2024, we are grateful to support the GW’s health sciences educational, research, and clinical programs. We are also grateful for the faculty, staff, and students who have made this season and year such a great one! Lastly, as a sweet beverage to serve as a perfect Thanksgiving treat, a Homemade Apple Cider, with no added sugar

Be safe, and have a happy Thanksgiving break!
