32 Scrumptious Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes

I know I’m stating the obvious when I say your Turkey Day feast doesn’t just have to be about turkey. Sure, cook up some bird for the inevitable meat-eaters at the table, but there’s no need to include meat in every dish. Not with all of these amazingly delicious vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes to choose from.

Over the last couple of months, I’ve collected some of the most scrumptious-looking, amazingly creative, and just plain gorgeous vegetarian dishes from around the web that I’m certain everyone – meat-eaters and vegetarians both – will adore as much as I do. Bonus: several are also vegan and gluten-free!
