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 recipes to replace ALL of these things! Woo Hoo!
Okay, hold up, I think I know what you’re thinking now…
What is vegan turkey?
Of course turkey is not actually vegan. I know many disagree with calling plant based foods by their traditional non-vegan names.
I get it, truly I do. But here me out.
Think back to when you just starting exploring plant based foods. When you were trying to figure out what to eat and what to 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 back to the question, what is a vegan turkey?
Store bought options are usually made from soy or wheat gluten and comes in a loaf or round shape, like a roast.
But of course, if you’re not down for store bought options (which is probably what led you here to the BEST plant based Thanksgiving recipes), you’ve come to the right place.
