Hi Guys,
I thought it would be a good idea to make a few suggestions about preparing Thanksgiving dinner this year. This is not a stoic, dieters-only mealplan! Only a few ideas to make traditional American Thanksgiving dinner a bit healthier.

First, use organic ingredients wherever possible. If you don't have a local source of organic foods you can shop online for several things: These sources are ones I've used and always been pleased with (I don't have any financial interest in them!) If anyone has other online favorites let me know.

www.diamondorganics.com
has a good selection of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and fresh pastas and breads. 
www.eco-organics.com
has better prices and shipping terms for east coast residents but less selection
www.livingtreecommunity.com
has a wide assortment of dried fruits and fresh raw nuts. They also make the only completely raw olive oil that I found. That's especially important for people on raw food diets; their oil extraction process is a state of the art centrifuge which does not heat the oil. Most extra-virgin olive oils are pressed, and while this is preferable to chemical extration, the press often generations temperatures over 140F (which changes the fatty acid structure and disqualifies it from a raw foods diet). Living Tree also has the very best Medjool dates I've ever tasted!
www.frontierherb.com
An organic co-op that sells a huge variety of certified organic & non-irradiated herbs, spices, coffee, tea and other dry goods. Very good quality and reasonable prices

And don't forget your pets! www.halsham.com
makes the worlds finest raw dog food; they have formulas ranging from duck breast to lamb heart with vegetables, all shipped fresh frozen 

OTHER TIPS:
Make everything from scratch
Use real butter for baking 
Use butter for low temperature cooking.
Use coconut oil for moderate to high temperature cooking.
Use raw olive oil, fresh raw flax oil, and sour cream for salads or vegetable dips.
Use arrowroot starch in gravy instead of flour or corn starch.
Add fresh lecithin to soups, salad dressings and gravies as an emulsifier. The lecithin granules from Frontier Herb are much better than the cans sold in most health food stores (lecithin should be odorless and tasteless,) (FRESH) , keep refrigerated after opening.
Sweeten desserts with raw (farm style) honey, dates, molasses, and certified organic raw sugar.
Add generous amounts of herbs and spices in cooking. Many have substantial health building properties. For example, rosemary and sage are premier antioxidants and food preservatives. Cinnamon helps to control blood sugar when sweets are eaten. Ginger improves circulation and controls inflamation. Cloves have potent antimicrobial properties (another good food preservative). There are many others so use a wide variety. Fresh herbs are preferable to dried if available.
Make a colorful dinner! The whole spectrum of natural plant pigments are chocked full of healthy phytonutrients.  Select fruits and vegetables for their strong blue, red, orange, yellow, and green coloring. Also edible flowers if available.
If you make stuffing, try adding a generous amount of homemade sage sausage, nuts, cranberries, green onion, eggs, etc to increase its nutritional value. Use a base of breads made from alternative grains (Ezekial bread or other whole grain organic sprouted grain breads)  
Try marinating your turkey in a blend of wine, lemon peel, cracked black pepper, salt, fresh sage, celery, onion and carrots. When you cook the turkey, don't discard the marinade. Cook the whole marinade with vegetables on the stove until the vegetables are tender. Then puree the mix and drain through a sieve. The liquid can be used for gravy or soup stock.
Serve at least some raw foods with dinner. Make creative combinations of spiced fruit & nuts, salads, and relishes. 
Also, if you're likely to have leftovers (and most of us will) you can add a pinch of sodium ascorbate crystals and vitamin E oil to most foods without affecting the flavor. These will help keep the leftovers fresh.
Select desserts that are either fruit, nut, or chocolate based; i.e. the classic flourless French chocolate cake has more nutritional value than your basic frosted layer cake.

Have fun cooking and take time to enjoy  your food. Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
