‘Diabetes-Friendly’ Thanksgiving Recipes

 

11. Butternut Squash Soup

Start off with this aromatic and vitamin-rich soup to keep hunger and portions in check. This butternut squash soup is seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, and fresh tarragon to infuse it with mouthwatering flavor. We use low-fat buttermilk in place of the full-fat version and light molasses for just a touch of sweetness.

12. Cranberry and Apricot Compote

Even if you’re usually not the biggest fan of cranberry sauce, you have to give this version a try. There are zero grams of added sugar in this naturally sweet dish, which incorporates a secret ingredient for extra antioxidants and minerals: dried apricots. A bit thicker than your average sauce, this cranberry-apricot compote will give your turkey an added punch of flavor.
