Weight Watchers Thanksgiving Recipes
One of the worst parts about the holiday season is avoiding foods that I love because they are packed with points and unhealthy ingredients. This year, instead of missing out on my favorites, I’m sharing all the delicious Weight Watchers Thanksgiving recipes that I’ll be making instead!
My family will get all of their holiday favorites and I’ll have the peace of mind knowing that we are all eating a meal that is wholesome, healthy, and delicious.
How are the Weight Watchers Smart Points calculated for these recipes?
I use the Weight Watchers recipe creator on their website to input all the ingredients for my recipes and then the system generates the points per serving! I find it’s the most reliable way to get accurate information for Weight Watchers Smart Points.
Remember if you change any ingredients or amounts you’ll need to recalculate to be sure the points come out the same!

The Weight Watchers Thanksgiving recipes that I’m sharing include everything from the turkey right on through to the side dishes and desserts.
