\"\"<\/a>While Thanksgiving can be a challenging day of the year for all dieters, it\u2019s especially difficult for vegetarians and vegans who abstain from eating turkey. There is no shortage of vegetable dishes at most Thanksgiving tables, but the meal often revolves around turkey as a main course.<\/p>\n

While the vegetarian diet<\/a><\/strong> is diverse and exciting, there are certain parts of the Thanksgiving meal that can be challenging to navigate on a meat-free diet.<\/p>\n

Meat-Free Main Dishes<\/strong>
\nThis year, whether you are eating a vegetarian diet, vegan diet<\/a><\/strong> or simply want to cut down your consumption of animal products, you can easily swap the turkey out of your Thanksgiving dinner without sacrificing tradition. While offering meat substitute like \u201cTofurkey\u201d is one option, many home cooks prefer to take advantage of fresh seasonal produce and hearty grain salads.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meat-Free Stuffing<\/strong>
\nWhile turkey is the most common challenge to a vegetarian diet, meat products like pork sausage and oysters sometimes lurk in stuffing or holiday dressing too. If you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner, it\u2019s easy enough to create vegetarian options for your guests. If you\u2019re headed to an omnivore\u2019s house this year, can offer to bring a meat-free version of your favorite stuffing so that you can enjoy it, worry-free.<\/p>\n

Vegan Options<\/strong>
\nIf you are cooking for someone who abstains not only from meat, but all animal products including butter, cream and cheese, you may need to look for substitutions to keep everyone at the table well-fed.<\/p>\n
