Thanksgiving Dinner is a traditional North American meal celebrated annually in late November. It typically centers around roasted turkey, paired with a variety of sides such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, and sweet potato casserole. Common desserts include pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Rooted in early colonial harvest feasts, this cuisine reflects a mix of Indigenous and European influences. Turkey is a lean protein source, and vegetable-based dishes provide vitamins and fiber. However, many components of the meal, like buttery mashed potatoes, sugary cranberry sauce, and pies, are calorie-dense and high in fats or sugars. Moderation and portion control can make this festive meal a balanced celebration.
