10. Red Quinoa Pilaf with Kale & Corn
Who says vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes lack protein? Protein-rich superfood quinoa makes an appearance in this seasonal pilaf packed with corn, kale, and peppers. The boost in protein more than makes up for the lack of turkey on the plate and the flavors will make you forget all about the bird.
11. Roasted Green Beans with Cranberries & Walnuts
These roasted green beans are tender, juicy and a bit healthier than the traditional heavy green bean casserole. Lemon zest adds some zing to the caramelized flavor of the beans, while walnuts and cranberries add the final holiday touch.
