What are some ideas for Thanksgiving dinner, if you are a vegetarian?

Answer 1

Vegetable based dishes.........:)

Answer 2

we are not vegans. But we have an onslaught of vegans come to our home every holiday. So by now, we have a few ideas on what to serve. First, if they don't eat red meat, but eat sea food, you can serve shrimp, or any sort of shell fish. Also fish works for this group. Then there are the ones who eat nothing that ever had a face. Tofurkey (I never served that because I have no idea how to fix it) is supposed to be a sort of fake turkey made out of tofu. Veggie Lasagna goes over great here. Even the meat eaters take that. Then there is Eggplant Parmesian. (breaded eggplant, baked with mozzerella cheese and tomato sauce). We have a few kinds of salads too. A basic green salad, a spinach salad, and a potato salad. All veggie pizza goes over fantastic too here. A huge plate of mixed raw veggies with various dips gets gobbled up fast. And we also make perogies. Those are sort of ravioli but with either cheese or sour kraut filling; boiled first, then fried lightly. Served with sour cream.
And have some various desert items. Not just pumpkin pie. Have three different deserts. Maybe two kinds of pie and a cake.
If you are not the vegan, my best wishes and hopes go to you this holiday. It isn't easy if you are not vegitarian to know exactly what vegans will eat.

Answer 3

The entire purpose of Thanksgiving is to celebrate how we wrongly used the Indians to teach us how to cultivate crops that were indigenous to them and then after we learned all we could we massacred them either by fighting or by small pox blankets.

So when you're thinking of a vegetarian dinner plan, you're going back on what Thanksgiving stands for.

I actually prefer to eat Native Americans flesh raw over turkey because I feel it doesn't symbolize the holiday to its fullest extent.

Answer 4

I always just eat the side dishes at my family Thanksgiving. You can even make vegetarian stuffing and gravy! Instead of Turkey, try more veggies... or pumpkin/squashness. You don't NEED the Tofurkey

Answer 5

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMmJw

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 6

You could make a nice vegetable casserole with all kinds of vegies, cheese and rice. Or, you could make some lasagna with spinach.

There are many ideas that you can implement by substituting the main ingredient of meat in recipes with vegetables or tofu.

Answer 7

At my house, we are having homemade baked macaroni and cheese, green beans w/ almonds with a garden herb sauce on the side, garlic mashed potatoes with vegetarian gravy, Quorn herb and garlic cutlets (for those who want something that resembles and tastes like chicken) and homemade cranberry sauce. oh..I almost forgot about the stuffing!

Answer 8

My friends who are vegitarian enjoy all the sides--yams, squash, greenbeans, mashed potatoes, relish tray, pumpkin pie. If you are cooking and want to do things differently, think butternut squash soup, pumpkin cheesecake, potato pancakes, cornbread with corn in it, greenbean casserole or greenbeans with pecans (Yahoo just had the recipe, looked yummy), apple tarts, stuffing made in muffin cups (saw that on Rachel Ray--use veggie broth when making the stuffing), collard greens...OK, now I'm hungry. :)

Answer 9

Try checking out your local organic food market and maybe consider soy turkey.

Answer 10

Turkey. Apparently you can't tell the difference to tofu.

Or is it the other way round?

Answer 11

on is stop being a vegetarian and enjoy the bird
