Vegan Thanksgiving Dinner – Not Sure What to Serve?

As we get down to the wire for the beginning of the holiday season, most of the questions received on this blog ask me  “what should I/we serve for a vegan Thanksgiving dinner?”

New vegans will especially struggle with trying to find recipes for dishes that are similar in taste, appearance and texture to the traditional omnivore Thanksgiving holiday offerings.

Fear no more! I’ve graciously prepared a list of fabulous recipes you can serve with pride at your vegan Thanksgiving celebration. Take a look, choose your favorites, then head to the grocery store.

Recreating the Traditional into a Vegan Thanksgiving Menu

Thanksgiving is when the extended family gathers together, which may mean you have 20 or more people to feed. My grandparents had 10 children, and when we descended upon her house, there were easily 50 children and adults in attendance! There were so many people my grandmother always cooked TWO turkeys, plus other dishes.

Thanksgiving in our family was always fun, and the food was always delicious. The women in extended family family along with my Uncle (who was a San Francisco chef), would be flinging pots and ingredients for HOURS getting everything ready. Remember, this was before food processors were invented, so everyone was slicing, dicing, chopping and mincing.

Everyone always looked forward to having my grandmother’s scratch made yeast rolls, my Uncle’s cranberry relish, my Mom’s baked macaroni and cheese; and my aunts desserts. Auntys would come through with sweet potato pies, cakes and other side dishes.

The Vegan Thanksgiving Dilemma Solved

Traditionally, the Thanksgiving table of African Americans consists of one to three protein sources, four or five side dishes, and two or more desserts. This suggested vegan Thanksgiving menu plan follows tradition, but replaces the animal protein and animal derived ingredients with plant-based vegan replacements. This entire soul food vegan Thanksgiving dinner menu is 100% plant-based, but just as tantalizing to the senses as anything you’ve ever had before.

I searched the web far and wide so you didn’t have to. Click the links below to find suggested recipes you can prepare and serve at your vegan Thanksgiving celebration. Oh, and Bookmark (CNTRL+B) this page, so you never need to worry about what to serve at a holiday dinner party ever again.
