Weeknight Dinner Meal Plan: Healthy Fall Dinners this week, perfect for mid-November as we gear up for the big Thanksgiving feast.

Healthy Fall Dinners

These healthy fall dinners are mostly quick and easy, packed with fall flavors, and perfect for the third week of November. 

Monday is a preview of Thanksgiving flavors to come. This 30 minute or less Pumpkin Curry Soup is a favorite, easy and delicious fall soup.

Tuesday is equally easy with a gingery chicken stir-fry dinner that will remind you of a takeout favorite.

On Wednesday, we're lightening up a comfort food favorite of Smothered Pork Chops, swapping out a few ingredients to make it healthy. Thursday is an easy Salmon dinner served over sauteed kale.

We're celebrating Friday with a quick Instant Pot Ground Turkey chili recipe that seems perfect for November.

The treat is a favorite pumpkin bread recipe. Consider making a double batch and freezing one for a make-ahead holiday treat.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Monday: Pumpkin Curry Soup

This Pumpkin Curry Soup is incredibly delicious, rich, and creamy. Simple to make in 30 minutes, it's a fall favorite or perfect Thanksgiving side. For a weeknight dinner -- I will skip the roasted pumpkin, but if you have extra time, it's simpler than it looks!

"If you're experiencing a take-out craving, whip up this easy stir fry instead. A few tablespoons of miso — a fermented paste — adds both flavor and gut-boosting probiotics." Serve with steamed rice of your choice.

A quick and easy comfort food classic. This recipes swaps notoriously high-fat sauce for a lighter version made with white wine, crème fraîche, and a bit of Dijon. Feel free to swap the white wine for chicken broth and the crème fraîche for light sour cream.

"Eating more salmon can benefit your heart, brain, and blood pressure — and when it's served with wild mushrooms, sautéed kale, and a dollop of Icelandic yogurt, you're only packing in more vitamins and minerals."
