Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Traditional Vegan Stuffing

Delicious vegan stuffing - even better without the turkey!

Since vegans and vegetarians don’t eat turkey, there is only one reason to make stuffing on Thanksgiving day (or any day). It's delicious! Fortunately, our stuffing doesn't have to cook inside a bird. A casserole dish will do nicely.

Vegan stuffing is a key element in a vegetarian or vegan Thanksgiving dinner. Because stuffing is traditional, everything we eat with it becomes traditional by association.

Especially if we're eating: cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, squash or yams, gravy (cashew gravy that is), and of course, baked tofu - an American tradition since the 1960s!

Cooking Tips: Salt is optional in this recipe, because there's usually salt in bread, and the stock or bouillon cube may also be salted.
