Okay, so maybe the title is a wee bit misleading. I will be making a turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner. I do have to make my omnivorous husband happy. But the rest of my recipes are vegetarian or vegan. I make him happy with a turkey and he doesn’t complain that the stuffing is made without sausage, or that the gravy is made without turkey drippings. Since I have been sharing all of my recipes the last week or two, I thought I would put it all together in a nice, neat Vegetarian Thanksgiving Menu (easily adapted to a Vegan Thanksgiving Menu).

Desserts
I adapt or create a good many of my recipes. When it comes to baking, I am a lot less adventurous, sticking with the tried and true. So the most of the recipes (the recipes I enjoy making for my family) below will take you to the original source.
- Pumpkin Pie from Paula Deen
- Pecan Pie from Pioneer Woman
- Lattice Top Apple Pie
- Blueberry Pie (I admit, with full-disclosure, my family prefers canned blueberries so that is what I use. Canned blueberry pie filling. Don’t judge, sometimes it is just easier this way LOL)
My pie crusts are made using my mother-in-law’s recipe.
Beverages
Yes, these are simply store bought.
- Apple Cider
- Egg Nog
What do you include in your Thanksgiving menu plans that would be considered traditional for your family; something you couldn’t imagine not having? For me, it is the stuffing that reminds me of being at my grandma’s growing up. And I don’t suppose I can imagine Thanksgiving without green bean casserole, mashed potatoes or pumpkin pie. The rest seems negotiable. But stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie, what would a Thanksgiving menu be without them?
Something that seems unique to my family, however, would be the stuffed celery. I have never seen stuffed celery on the table of anyone else I have had the blessing of sharing this holiday with. Just those in my own family. What seems unique to your family?
