Vegan Thanksgiving Menu Recipes
Are you planning a vegan Thanksgiving menu this year but are unsure of where to start? I’ve done the work for you and put together all the vegan Thanksgiving recipes you’ll need so you can pick and choose and get to work!
Best Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes
Below you’ll find recipes for vegan Thanksgiving sides and main dishes as well as vegan gravy, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, dessert and whipped cream.
Using this list, choose 2-4 side dishes, 1 main dish, 1 dessert, 1 vegan gravy, 1 dinner role and if desired, 1 version of vegan whipped cream.
Once you have your dishes, make a game plan to see if there’s anything you can make ahead of time and what needs to be done the day of. From there, create a grocery list of everything you’ll need to create your plant-based Thanksgiving feast, stock up and get cooking.
I would recommend starting your plan at least a day, if not a week ahead of time. But creating a plant-based Thanksgiving feast is easier than you think and by using this list, I can guarantee it’s going to be one amazing meal.
