What do vegans eat on Thanksgiving?
If made the traditional way it is a challenge for vegans to be able to partake with their non-vegan family and friends on Thanksgiving.
Recipes such as stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce while usually made with animal derived ingredients, can be made vegan and nobody will be able to tell the difference!
With a few simple modifications, and ingredients swaps, you can easily make your vegan guests feel welcome and included at your Thanksgiving meal.
Swap a dairy free milk for regular milk or cream in your recipes.
Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Use a vegan butter such as Earth Balance where butter is called for in a recipe.
But don’t allow your vegan guests to feel left out, when it comes to the turkey! Vegan Stuffed butternut squash, or vegan stuffed acorn squash make for an elegant main dish for both your vegetarian and vegan guests.
