What can a vegetarian eat on Thanksgiving?

  • I know Thanksgiving isn't for a few more months but I'm planning ahead because I truly have no idea what to eat. This will be my first Thanksgiving as a vegetarian. My mom ...show more

  • Answer:

    Butternut squash -chop squash in half -sprinkle with cinnamon -bake face down on a cookie sheet @350 F for like 30-45 minutes (you still want it to be semi-firm and not entirely mushy) *this isn't the exact recipe, but it is close* Carmalized Carrots with Pecans Chop some carrots & simmer/'slow cook'/steam-fry them in a sauce pan with a little oil (olive, sunflower or canola work) after the carrots have softened a bit add some brown sugar (like 1/4 to 1/2 cup) with a bit of water to dissolve. Reduce heat and simmer until the sugar begins to caramelize add a 1/2 cup of pecans stir, simmer for 5-10 minutes & serve. Wild rice casserole: wild rice cream of mushroom soup fresh mushrooms of your choice chopped celery cook the rice until soft/desired texture, add mushroom soup & extra veg, pop in the oven for 15-20minutes to spread the flavours. what about a three bean salad or something? if I had my cookbook on hand I'd be more help!

A lot of the sides at thanksgiving are vegetarian. Yams, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, etc. Rather then asking your mom to make anything extra I would volunteer to help her, and perhaps provide an extra dish for yourself, but to share with everyone. Google recipes for stuffed pumpkin of stuffed squash; that's my favorite vegetarian main course for Thanksgiving.

why can't mom just make everything she usually makes, not using any animal juices or anything, and you have teh whole deal except for the turkey? That's what we do.

Most stores carry Tofurkey. (tofu turkey.) Its really good! :D

I don't know where you live, but here in Toronto, they sell Tofurkey - a tofu dish that they sell instead of turkey for vegetarians. You can buy yourself one of those and have that for Thanksgiving. My nephew had that last Thanksgiving, he is a vegan. Then just eat whatever veggies you want to have with it.

Here are some examples of things you could do: 1) Purchase one or more of the meat replacement products. Things like tofu faux turkey come to mind. 2) Eat only those things that are vegetables. This would just about just every thing else but the main dish. Although many can be made with animal parts (e.g. ham in the beans). In this case help make it, or make some separate. 3) Thanksgiving is more about the family and giving thanks then the food you eat. Simply make an exception for this holiday and eat what everyone else does. You won't be kicked out of the vegetarian club if you do.

Haha troll answers are pretty great! They keep YA amusing lol Anyways...there's usually a lot at a thanksgiving table that a vegetarian is able to eat. You could make a sweet potato casserole(here's a link to the recipe: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/12/sweet-potato-casserole-with-pecan.html ) or you could marinate tofu for yourself(sooo good!!) here's a few links with recipes and menu ideas for a vegetarian thanksgiving! http://www.helium.com/items/84278-vegetarian-thanksgiving-menu-ideas http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061112095052AAteQ7Q - this one is great. It is someone asking the same question, and the person who answered pretty much planned the whole dinner! Enjoy!

I wondered about that too. I will just be eating: The salad course, the stuffing set aside for me (I checked, its vegan), the cranberries, and I'm going to make a chickpea-rice-veggie type dish too, so I'l eat that. Good luck:)!
