]]> 48473 2 39 Tip Don’t ban dark meat altogether – it’s actually more nutritious, containing more iron, zinc, riboflavin, thiamine, and vitamins B6 and B12.

]]> 48474 3 52 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70576/52.jpg Don't stuff it Cook your stuffing outside the bird; it’s lower in fat that way.

]]> 48475 4 59 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70576/59.jpg Make groovy gravy Remove the fat from the pan drippings before you make the gravy, either by using a fat separator or chilling them in the fridge and then skimming off the fat. You’ll save a whopping 56 grams of fat per cup of gravy!

]]> 48476 5 73 Tip For a really low-cal gravy, skip the drippings and make it out of low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth mixed with a little flour dissolved in water.

]]> 48477 6 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70576/82.jpg Whip potatoes with broth Use chicken broth instead of cream and butter to make mashed potatoes.

]]> 48478 7 91 Tip Consider making smashed potatoes by leaving on the nutrient-rich skin.

]]> 48479 8 96 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70576/96.jpg Bake a guilt-free green bean casserole Make the traditional green bean casserole with 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup and cut the calories by more than half, plus eliminate 14 grams of fat. Shave off another 250 calories by using only half the can of French-fried onions.

]]> 48480 9 112 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70576/112.jpg Stir up some cranberry sauce Make your own cranberry sauce. Wash a bag of fresh cranberries, put them in a pot with a cup of water, let them cook until the desired texture, and then stir in sugar or sugar substitute sparingly, to taste.

]]> 48481 10 124 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70576/124.jpg Slim down the yams Slim down the candied yams by cutting back on the added sugar or maple syrup — you probably won’t even miss it — and nixing the mini marshmallows.

]]> 48482 11 136 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70576/136.jpg Pick the pumpkin pie Stick to pumpkin pie. At around 240 calories a slice, it beats apple, mince, and pecan. Don’t eat the crust and you’ll save another 100 calories.

]]> 48483 12 150 Fact On average, Americans take in 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat on Thanksgiving Day.
