Pass On the Pumpkin Pie, But Not the Pumpkin

One cup of canned pumpkin contains only 83 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 7 grams of fiber. Besides being low in calories and high in fiber pumpkin is full of vitamin A and beta-carotene which has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
So, instead of turning this healthy and good for you food into a high calorie, high fat dessert try pumpkin in some of these weight loss friendly recipes for Thanksgiving, or any night of the week:
Spicy Pumpkin and Split Pea Soup
Fresh Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin-Turkey "goulash" with Caraway Noodles
