"While tofurkey is a suitable replacement, not everyone loves a meat alternative, and sometimes it's best just to provide a delicious dish that was designed to be vegetarian. It's important to stay on theme, and choose a recipe that will coordinate with the surrounding sides. The goal is to provide a savory, comforting, rich, and a delicious alternative so that your vegetarian guests will be just as excited as your meat-eating friends to dive in."
"If you're a "it's not Thanksgiving without a turkey" kind of person, then it's likely a stuffed gourd isn't going to be considered a valid replacement for turkey in your book. And that's okay. We recognize that tradition is deeply woven into the fabric of Thanksgiving, and that can be a beautiful thing. In this case, you'll likely want to dabble in meat-alternatives."
Vegetarians can enjoy Thanksgiving with creative ingredient substitutions that eliminate meat and dairy from traditional sides. Common vegetarian staples include mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and various casseroles. For larger vegetarian gatherings, a centerpiece alternative to roasted turkey helps balance the meal. Options include processed meat substitutes like Tofurky or other brands, or original vegetarian mains designed for flavor, texture, and aroma. Successful vegetarian mains should coordinate with surrounding sides and offer savory, comforting richness. Emphasizing taste and communal appeal ensures vegetarian guests are as excited as meat-eating friends to partake in the holiday feast.
