Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes

A family recipe for Thanksgiving turkey that's always juicy and succulent.

Baked until chewy on the outside and soft on the inside, these are a perfect balance of salty and sweet. The rosemary makes them addictive.

This is a quick, easy way to saute asparagus. The dish has a light flavor and makes a great accompaniment to Italian meals. I make this year-round, but we especially enjoy it on Thanksgiving.

A few tablespoons of duck and a very hot oven is all you need to turn some sleepy Brussels sprouts into something much more special.

Thanksgiving is actually a fairly easy meal to manage for paleo people. We'll show you how.

Roasted butternut squash with garlic is a quick and easy side dish ready in less than an hour for a weeknight or a holiday gathering.

Soft, baked sweet potatoes simply seasoned with oregano, salt, and pepper.

This makes a yummy mini-Thanksgiving, which my girls and husband love! I serve this with jellied cranberry sauce, quick stuffing, and gravy.

Best eaten at room temperature.

This very quick and flavorful side dish is easy for everyday dinner, but nice enough to serve for Thanksgiving!

A delicious deviation from the typical squash preparation, this recipe has kind of a nutty flavor with or without the nuts. Good as-is, but of course each person can salt and pepper their own serving to taste. The leftovers are good served as a cold salad if you don't like the cooked spinach that results from re-heating. Almonds and walnuts can be used in addition to or instead of the pecans.

This recipe makes your turkey moist and full of flavor. You can also use this recipe for Cornish game hens, chicken breasts or roasting chicken. Select a turkey sized according to the amount of people you will be serving.
