What do people eat for Thanksgiving?
Traditionally, a Thanksgiving lunch or dinner includes turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cornbread, gravy, cranberry sauce, PIE, and all things pumpkin!
And I’ve got GREAT news! I have plant-based recipes to replace ALL of these favourites! Woohoo!
What is vegan turkey?
Of course, turkey is not actually vegan. I know many disagree with calling plant-based foods their traditional non-vegan names.
I get it…but here me out.
Think back to when you first started exploring plant-based foods. When you were trying to figure out what to eat and make.
I know I can’t be the only one who’s searched the web for “vegan chicken burgers“, “vegan meatballs” or “vegan orange chicken“.
Am I right?
So vegan turkey?
You’ve got plenty of store-bought options, often made from soy or wheat gluten and shaped like a roast.
BUT, if you’re looking for homemade (which is probably what led you here to the BEST vegan Thanksgiving recipes), you’ve come to the right place. 😉
What you’ll find here
- Plant-based recipes that are PERFECT for a vegan Thanksgiving.
- They’re all free from animal products.
