Turkey-Free Foods to Gobble Up for Thanksgiving

Try these turkey-free foods for a compassionate Thanksgiving.

Turkeys are smart, sensitive and curious birds. Sadly, nearly 300 million are slaughtered each year — around 46 million for Thanksgiving alone.

This Thanksgiving, leave turkey — and all animals — off your plate without missing any holiday fun. You’ll find that many side dishes such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, and candied yams can already be easily “veganized” with only a few minor modifications. Try these vegan side dishes at your next holiday feast.

And what about a hearty dish to accompany these savory sides? Here are some oven-ready main course ideas, sure to create a stunning centerpiece on your holiday table:

Field Roast Hazelnut Cranberry Roast En Croute: This gourmet roast is flavored with hazelnuts, vegan sausage, crystallized ginger, cranberries and  apples, wrapped in puff pastry.

Gardein Holiday Roast: This roast is filled with cranberry wild rice stuffing and comes with gravy.

Tofurky Feast: This popular option includes a stuffed roast with gravy and even comes with dessert.

Give turkeys something to be thankful for by choosing from the cornucopia of turkey-free products this Thanksgiving.
