Thinking about Thanksgiving usually leads to images of excess running through our heads as we envision "letting" ourselves enjoy foods that are richer than usual and delicacies that break some rules. The good news is that Thanksgiving doesn't actually deserve some of that negativity. Turkey, for instance, delivers plenty of protein and it has a low fat content compared to other meats, writes Amanda Schupak.
