Vegetable-Turkey Pot Pie

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Although we’ll never say no to a slice of pumpkin, apple, or pecan pie, not all of our favorite fall pies are sweet. This savory pie is like a mash-up of shepherd’s pie and pizza, and our families can’t get enough of this healthy fall dinner idea. It’s constructed with all canned or frozen veggies, ground turkey or beef, and refrigerated pizza dough so you could make this low-fuss, just-so-happens-to-be-dairy-free entrée without a special trip to the grocery store.

While this looks and eats like a classic noodle bowl, this healthy fall recipe is built on a foundation of spiralized red apples and kohlrabi. The mildly-peppery yet sweet root vegetable plays nicely with the umami pork tenderloin and zippy mustard-spiced cashew cream sauce. Whether you’re following a Paleo eating plan or simply seeking ways to add more produce to your diet, these protein-rich bowls are a brilliant dinner option.

Farro and Beef Stew with Roasted Vegetables

You probably don’t immediately think “superfood” when you envision a big pot of bubbling beef stew. But for this healthy fall meal, we’re giving one of the quintessential comfort foods of the cold weather seasons a produce-packed makeover. To supplement the substantial beef roast and farro, we call for stirring in a caramelized combo of roasted vegetables along with a mix of beef broth and red wine.

Fall Vegetable Fajitas

For fajitas that offer a fiesta of flavor, soak seasonal veggies and steak in a chile-lime hot sauce. Wrap the mix in a warm tortilla and sprinkle with your favorite toppings for a colorful and healthy fall dinner recipe that’s surprisingly low in calories.

Test Kitchen Tip: Try freezing steak for 20 minutes before slicing or just until it is firm but not frozen. This allows for thin slices of steak.

Fettuccine Alfredo Soup

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Wait, pasta with Alfredo as part of a healthy fall recipe round-up? Stick with us: This silky soup is equal parts rich and nutritious thanks to a few simple ingredient swaps or additions. Chicken thighs pump up the protein, fresh broccoli adds nutrients and fiber, and reduced-sodium chicken broth keeps the salt content in check. Because we’re all about balance and all things in moderation—oh yes, and flavor!—we call for a generous splash of half-and-half, a reasonable portion of fettuccine noodles, and plenty of shredded Parmesan cheese.

Our thick and bubbly pasta bake has all the cheesy goodness you love without all the fat and calories. By substituting some of the cheese with seasonal butternut squash, you'll cut back on both, plus gain a healthy helping of fiber and vitamin A in this healthy fall dinner recipe. (Psst ... try it with acorn, delicata, or honeynut squash if you don’t have any butternut handy.)

Whether you canned your own green beans during summer or stocked up on some at the supermarket for all those holiday casseroles, chances are you have quite the bean bounty in your kitchen as we speak. So put those vitamin-loaded goodies to great use in this healthy fall dinner idea that features briny kalamata olives, buttery cannellini beans, sweet or spicy Italian sausage, and sweet-tart canned plum tomatoes.

In our opinion, the best brisk evening dinners are warm and comforting—and this one delivers on both of those promises. Bonus points because the healthy fall meal calls for canned pumpkin for a quick and easy boost in vitamin A (and flavor). This 30-minute pork stir-fry recipe delivers a hearty, protein-packed meal that will make you forget all about takeout.

Trade traditional spaghetti noodles for warm strands of spaghetti squash. It will cut some carbs and calories, plus spaghetti squash is rich in antioxidants. A chunky roasted tomato sauce and bulgur-enhanced beefy meatballs top this healthy fall dinner recipe.

Pasta Dinner Makeover: Typical restaurant spaghetti and meatballs have nearly 1,000 calories and 36 grams of fat per serving. This copycat recipe has just 280 calories and 8 grams of fat.

For a lighter twist on cheesy potatoes, mash cauliflower, potatoes, and carrots with a semisoft garlic-herb cheese. Then pair your spiffed-up spuds with a golden dill-crusted cod fillet; the flaky fish is high in protein and low in fat, resulting in one must-make healthy fall dinner idea.

Test Kitchen Tip: When whipping up mashed potatoes or cauliflower, reserve some of the cooking water from the vegetables. Add it to the mash as needed for desired consistency.
