Thanksgiving

Turkey breast is all white meat and can be prepared very healthily. I usually make it in the crock pot, super easy and light: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/92528/slow-cooker-turkey-breast/

Also, this is somewhat blasphemous on Thanksgiving but for mashed potatoes you can do a combo of potatoes and cauliflower (or all cauliflower, but it doesn't really taste the same as mashed potatoes). Not a bad dish in its own right, but I don't know if I'd completely replace the mashed potatoes with it: http://www.food.com/recipe/roasted-garlic-mashed-potatoes-and-cauliflower-46925

I also use a lot of butternut squash... last year I did a sweet potato and butternut squash casserole, and butternut squash soup is always really good and easy to make light. http://www.emilybites.com/2012/09/butternut-squash-soup.html

Here are some other ideas:

I find traditional Thanksgiving food to be pretty healthy in general...lean protein, veggies, starches and grains...all pretty healthy IMO.

I'm roasting a Turkey on the grill...it will be stuffed with my homemade sourdough stuffing. Garlic mashed potatoes, chipotle sweet potatoes, scratch green bean casserole, sauteed brussels sprouts and acorn squash, homemade cranberry sauce.

all good wholesome stuff IMO....
