Thanksgiving is a great time to spend time with family and enjoy lots of great food. But sometimes that large meal isn’t too friendly for diets, allergies, or the waistline. If following a paleo lifestyle, some classic turkey day dishes are hard to have since they aren’t caveman friendly. Instead of having grain or dairy heavy dishes at your meal, enjoy these paleo friendly Thanksgiving dishes!

Kale, Cauliflower, and Sweet Potato Au Gratin

Caitlin from Foraged Dish loves sharing recipes with real ingredients and her au gratin is no exception. Filled with fall foods such as kale, cauliflower, and sweet potato, this dish gets its mimic of dairy from coconut milk and nutritional yeast. A perfect dairy-free alternative to the classic heavy based au gratin- now you’ll have more room for turkey and dessert!

Paleo Biscuits

Having some warm biscuits on the table just seems right- but not if you aren’t eating grains. Instead of serving grain and dairy filled biscuits (whether homemade or store-bought) try this recipe from Rebecca of My Natural Family. Using a combination of alternative flours and coconut milk, Rebecca has created a delicious biscuit that tastes just as great as the original!
