Thanksgiving only rolls around once a year, and we think it’s important to enjoy it when it does. While we aren’t in the business of keeping ourselves from things we love, it also would be a crying shame to erase all our hard work and dedication throughout the year in one fell swoop with one meal.

To that end, we figured the best thing to do would be to round up a list of some of the more healthy traditional Thanksgiving foods so that we can make an informed decision come game time.

Here are five food options you can make at Thanksgiving that will still leave you feeling like you made the healthy choice.

1. White Turkey Meat.
Believe it or not, going in for the white turkey meat versus the dark meat will save you about 50 calories and four grams of fat per three-ounce serving.

2. Cranberries.
Feel free to load up on this Thanksgiving favorite, which is less than 50 calories per cup and is loaded with healthy fiber. This applies to the regular canned versions, though, and not so much to the jellied versions, which tend to be loaded with lots of extra sugar.

3. Sweet potatoes.
Of course the trick with this delicious vegetable is how it’s served (for example, loaded with tons of butter and sugar is probably not the healthiest option), but taken for its face value, the sweet potato is actually quite healthy. They come loaded with tons of vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin C and manganese, and there’s only about 114 calories per one-cup serving.

4. Pumpkin.
If you’re trying to decide between the pumpkin and apple pies, keep in mind that a 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin contains 42 calories, four grams of fiber, 953 mg of vitamin A and more than 250 mg of potassium.

Not sure how the pies actually compare, though? According to EatingWell.com, 1/8 of a 9-inch pumpkin pie would be about 316 calories and 14 grams of fat, compared to 411 calories and 19 grams of fat for a comparable apple pie slice.

5. Hummus.
Looking for a healthier alternative to traditional crudité and Ranch dressing appetizer combos? Try hummus instead. With a gram of protein and fiber in each serving, and only 25 calories, hummus remains the powerhouse of all Thanksgiving options.

6. Gravy.
Believe it or not, gravy is not bad for you, as its delicious taste might imply. In fact, a quarter cup has only 50 calories – so go ahead and load up that (white!) turkey meat!

With just a little forethought, any Thanksgiving meal can be both delicious and healthy, leaving you feeling both satisfied and proud of your oh-so-perfect holiday celebration.
