50 Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes You Need On Your Holiday Table

On Saturday I promised you 50 last minute vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes (and lots of vegan ones too!) you neeeeed on your Thanksgiving table…and I always live up to my promises!

So move over Tofurkey!

There may be a million and a half vegan/vegetarian Thanksgiving recipe roundups on the internet (see here, here, and here), so why not read ONE more…maybe I have the perfect recipe for you…

It’s been quite some time since I traded in turkey, mashed taters and jellied cranberry sauce for hearty fall salads, fresh cranberry relish and sooo many roasted veggies, BUT that doesn’t mean the world’s biggest food holiday rolls by without a thought. It’s still one of my favorites!

As I shared earlier, this year is the last Thanksgiving in my childhood home, and although it’s sad, I cannot wait for a few days of just family at home. <3

But, first…FOOD! 

Because I don’t know about you, but I did some MAJOR menu planning this past weekend curled up on my couch with hot cocoa because it was finallllly chilly out (my favorite weather!).

So here are 50 last minute vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes — appetizers, soups, salads, side dishes, veggie-filled mains, desserts and some cocktails — many of which…

• Contain 10 ingredients or less
• Can be made ahead of time (hellooo prep work!)
• Are vegan (V), gluten free (GF), nut-free (NF), dairy free (DF), egg free and every other major allergen-free (see labels below!)
• Are from your favorite bloggers (and many are RD-approved!)

And all of which are DELICIOUS (duh!) and full of fall flavors!
