Everything Thanksgiving: Get all our Thanksgiving recipes, how-tos and more !

Thanksgiving often feels like its focused around the turkey , what with all the talk about thawing and brining , but that leaves out vegetarians and vegans from enjoying the feast, which is contrary to the very spirit of the holiday. Luckily, what Thanksgiving is really about is the side dishes, which are all vegetable centric. So really, making your Thanksgiving a meat-free one is a lot easier than you might think.

We put together a collection of vegetarian-friendly sides and some ideas for a main dish too, to replace the turkey. These dishes would satisfy even the most die-hard turkey fan.
