Vegetarian Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is all about family and food. Most families have recipe traditions that have spanned generations, and everyone looks forward to sharing the feast. Vegetarians and vegans can feel left out when those recipes have meat in them, and the cooks may not know what to make that will be cruelty free as well as satisfying.
The good news is that most of the side dishes on the Thanksgiving table are naturally meat free. Vegans usually have fewer traditionally made choices because of cream, milk or butter, but there are really tasty and readily available substitutes at most chain grocery stores.
Below you'll find delicious vegetarian Thanksgiving menu with highly rated recipes including main dish, sides and desserts.
Enjoy!

Featuring fresh seasonal produce, whole grains, and low-fat protein sources, here are menus that will appeal not only to vegetarians but to people on low-cholesterol diets, the lactose intolerant, and vegans - those vegetarians who eat no eggs or dairy products. Meals for major holidays and other festive occasions include a Southwestern brunch for New Year's Day, a vegan Valentine, a Pennsylvania Dutch Easter lunch, an Eastern European Rosh Hashanah, Irish classics for St. Patrick's Day, a Memorial Day picnic, an Independence Day barbecue, a Sephardic Seder for Passover, a family Thanksgiving, and an American Country Christmas. There are also imaginative vegetarian dishes for informal buffets and smaller celebrations, from intimate suppers to afternoon tea. This new, updated edition now features recipes modified to reduce fat content and includes a nutritional analysis for each menu. From New Year's Day to year's end, Nava Atlas's collection of healthy holiday fare is a true celebration of vegetarian delights.

Mine is definitely Vegetarian Apple "Sausage" Stuffing - my mom makes it every year. I think we'll use soy free Field Roast Grain Meat Co.'s Smoked Apple Sage Vegan Sausages this time around. I love the Italian style and can't wait to try these.

- Your menu sounds infinitely better than the molded-from-garbanzo-beans "turkey" a friend of mine was once served...although perhaps with the right ingredients, a mock turkey could be okay. But veggies are so wonderful--why not celebrate them instead? Awesome lens.

- One of my favorite Thanksgivings ever was a Vegan one. I went to a 7th day adventist vegan soul food restaurant and bought a 20 pound vegan turkey.
We had the best feast with friends. The food was amazing and even the meat eaters were happy with the spread
