Thanksgiving is a holiday that is about celebrating friends and family and being thankful for the many blessings in our lives. It has always been my favorite holiday! Any excuse to spend a day creating delicious food, feeding those that I love, and partaking in a mouthwatering feast is a food lover’s dream come true. Thanksgiving is also the perfect opportunity to showcase how delectable nutrient-dense, whole food can be to loved ones who may not be familiar with the Paleo lifestyle.
Since I’m back on the full Paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP), I’ve been scouring the Internet for AIP-friendly recipes to serve at my own Thanksgiving dinner table. It is absolutely possible to serve a delicious Thanksgiving meal while staying within the AIP guidelines. This year, I’m sharing my top recipe picks in an effort to make your holiday planning a bit easier. All of these recipes are compliant with Paleo AIP.
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!

Your website is so awesome and helpful! These are some great ideas. Those garlic mushrooms look amazing muhaha :)!
Thanks so much for including my Brussels sprouts recipe!
Thank you for creating such a delicious recipe!
These all look amazing. I’m happy to see brussels sprout making a comeback this year – I love the green beans, but anything roasted with bacon wins my vote!
Thanks so much for the shout out! You picked out some awesome recipes in this round-up 🙂
