🦃 turkey-free entrees


Hi Reader,

Just because you're skipping the turkey doesn't mean you're left with just side dishes at your Thanksgiving or holiday dinner.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But there are a variety of delicious meatless main dishes that will have even omnivores asking for seconds.

These are some of my favorites:

🦃 Rosemary Tofu: Seasoned with dried herbs and nutritional yeast, then baked until crispy.

🦃 Lentil Meatloaf Muffins: I've served these many times to guests, and they are always a hit. My favorite part is the glaze on top.

🦃 Tofu Meatballs: I love them drizzled with either cranberry sauce or vegan gravy.

🦃 Stuffed Acorn Squash: Featuring a Mediterranean quinoa-chickpea filling that's also delicious on its own.

🦃 Seasoned Chickpeas: Keep things simple with Pan Fried Chickpeas or Sheet Pan Roasted Chickpeas.

Love and Veggies,

Amy
