Thanksgiving isn't exactly a whole lot of fun [1] for a vegan. While everyone is thankful for their enormous plates piled high with turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows, if you're in a house full of meat eaters, your plate is likely made up of a single, boring roll (with no butter, of course). Not this year, though! Whether you can't stomach dairy or you don't want to eat animal products, make Thanksgiving awesome and vegan-friendly with these delicious, seasonal recipes that can be served as the main dish.
