Happy Vegetarian Thanksgiving!

There is no reason for vegetarians, vegans and raw foodies to miss out on the goodness of Thanksgiving - thankfully the days of picking at side dishes are gone, and there are plenty of vegetarian main dish substitutes to entice even real turkey eaters!

For the standard Tofurky to raw food options, and even recipes for making your own vegan loaf, read on for our favorite turkey alternatives that will ensure no one will go unsatisfied .

An industry pioneer, the Tofurky has been a staple for vegetarians everywhere. Their Thanksgiving Roast comes with a bevy of trimmings including Wild Rice Stuffing, Giblet and Mushroom Gravy, and Tofurky Jurky Wishstix – their vegetarian version of wish bones. Wrapped in savory wheat gluten and tofu, the roast is juicy, and great for sandwich leftovers.

Field Roast Grain Meat Company makes a full line of faux meat products. Their Celebration Loaf, which looks more like a ham than a turkey, is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The savory wheat-protein loaf is stuffed with a hearty butternut squash, apple and mushroom stuffing, and marinated with a smoky, garlicky finish.
