Make a Vegetarian Thanksgiving Dinner
Classic Thanksgiving dinners generally include a large stuffed turkey as well as gravy, sweet honey ham, buttery mashed potatoes and other animal products. However, you can create a Thanksgiving dinner which is just as delicious and 100 percent vegetarian.
Instructions
1. Begin with a delicious garden salad. Try your standard green salad and add mango and figs with a balsamic and olive oil vinaigrette or search online for other unique and filling salad recipes.
2. Swap standard cream and butter mashed potatoes for sweet potato mash. Boil sweet potatoes until soft and then add apple juice and a pinch of cinnamon. Mash until creamy and serve steaming hot.
3. Pick the right main course as the absence of turkey doesn't mean your vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner can't be delicious and satisfying. Try a veggie-stuffed lasagna made with non-dairy cheeses or homemade veggie shepherd pies.
4. Include many of the traditional Thanksgiving side dishes as part of your vegetarian dinner. Cranberry sauce, stuffing made outside of a turkey with walnuts and apples and cornbread are all fantastic sides that are 100 percent meat-free.
5. Plan the perfect non-dairy dessert for the vegan vegetarians at your dinner table. Classic apple, pumpkin or pecan pie made with graham cracker crust is a sure way to finish your meal off right.
