Vegetarian and Vegan ThanksgivingHow To Build A Traditional Vegetarian or Vegan Thanksgiving MenuMention 'Turkey Day' and everyone knows you mean Thanksgiving. What can vegans or vegetarians eat on a holiday that is so firmly tied to turkey? And what do you do when you're eating with people who range from carnivore to vegan? First read the Savvy Vegetarian report, Veg and Non-Veg Together. Then consult the following menu suggestions, and the Savvy Veg Holiday Recipe Index for recipes so delicious that eaters of all persuasions will be coming back for seconds. If you're dining away from home, volunteer to bring a few dishes. You'll know for sure there will be something you can eat. Plus, you'll get a reputation for being really helpful and a great cook. If you're the host and your non-veg guests are adamant about eating turkey, ask one of them to prepare a turkey and bring it, or buy one already prepared from a grocery store or caterer. Don't try to convert anybody to a vegetarian diet on Thanksgiving. It will just create bad feelings and spoil the celebration. We hope these Thanksgiving menus, along with our holiday recipes, will help you enjoy a wonderful vegetarian or vegan Thanksgiving dinner!
