10 Vegan Thanksgiving Dishes That Prove You Don’t Have To Kill Turkeys To Slay A Thanksgiving Meal

Thanksgiving in the United States is the ultimate holiday for foodies. But if you're vegan or vegetarian, sometimes it can be difficult getting together with other people who do not share your lifestyle. You may feel like your plate is loaded with side dishes and that it's not truly a 'real' Thanksgiving meal.

But you can give thanks for the fact that your plate is cruelty-free, and this list of yummy vegan-friendly Thanksgiving dishes proves that being a vegan is a great thing to be on Thanksgiving!

1. Creamy, dreamy vegan mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes are a classic, but who wants all that butter and gravy? Try these vegan caramelized onion mashed potatoes or this vegan garlic and rosemary mash. These recipes prove you don't need dairy or meat to make mashed potatoes a smash hit!

2. Classic mac & cheese.

I think that we can all agree that macaroni and cheese is one of the best foods on the planet, am I right? So bring this amazing vegan mac and cheese in your best casserole dish.

3. Spicy rosemary butternut squash.

One of my favorite seasonal foods is butternut squash. Turn this versatile veggie into an amazing side or main dish with this easy, delicious recipe!

4. Vegan stuffing.

Stuffing is something you only ever eat on Thanksgiving, but it's so freakin' good. Sometimes you can be hard-pressed to find a version that doesn't use stock, but this vegan recipe is easy to follow and classic.

5. Chicken-less pot pies.

These mini meat-free pot pies are a fun, hand-held entree that will please both children and adults alike!

6. Stuffed acorn squash.

You'll fall for these adorable, healthy vegan stuffed acorn squashes.

7. Cruelty-free lasagna.

Lasagna is a dish that can feed a large crowd. Try this vegan version at your Thanksgiving dinner!

8. Plant-based dumplings.

This year, think outside the box and make dumplings! They're delicious and you can easily adjust the recipe for the size of your get-together. Try these pumpkin dumplings that can be adjusted to your preferences.

9. Vegan pumpkin pie.

What's fall without pumpkin? You need this vegan pumpkin pie in your life, now. 'Tis the season.

10. Maple pecan pie

Pie usually contains a ton of butter and eggs... but this maple pecan pie is vegan: no butter, no eggs, no corn syrup, no processed white sugar. YAY!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
