As a vegan, Thanksgiving isn't just about the turkey and buttery mashed potatoes that you don't eat. There are so many other delicious, healthy recipes you can whip up to savor all the flavors of fall and to enjoy with your family and friends. If you're cooking for your household or just for yourself, stop at Trader Joe's to pick up these vegan products to help make your Thanksgiving even more scrumptious and to save you time in the kitchen.
