Turkey or Chicken → Vegan Roast
Vegan roasts often use a combination of soy, beans, or wheat to reimagine a savory main dish. A lot of people have unpleasant memories of “tofu-ferky” but bird replacements have really improved recently! Plus, flavor is the most important aspect of cooking animal or non-animal based food. Therefore, the best vegan roasts use tons of spices and maybe even include sauce to make it extra delicious.

Animal-Based Stuffing → Stuffing with Vegetable Broth
As long as no eggs or animal-based broth is used, most homemade stuffing is already vegan. I combine a flax egg and veggie broth with carrots, celery, and toasted bread that I sliced into squares. If you’re looking to save time, use a vegan crouton mix or let your bread go stale in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.
