Main Course

• Don't serve multiple meat entrées, such as having both turkey and ham.
• Limit portions of turkey for each guest by buying and cooking a smaller bird and adding a meatless entrée, such as lentil loaf or cakes, ratatouille, lasagna, chili or meatless shepherd's pie.
• Be adventurous and try a prepared faux turkey dish, like Tofurky or Quorn brand roasts, available for purchase in supermarkets and health food stores, or be really adventurous and make your own from tofu (recipes available on the Web).

Stuffing

• Don't add any meats (like sausage) and use instead veggies, fruits or nuts.
• Bake stuffing in a casserole or inside a whole pumpkin or squash instead of inside the turkey.

Gravy

• Skip the meat and spice it up by adding soy sauce or garlic and other spices.
• Use “Egg Replacer” in place of chicken eggs and vegetable broth in place of turkey or chicken broth.

Soup

• Substitute soy milk, vegetable broth or water for cow's milk in potato, squash and corn soups.

Side Dishes

• Substitute soy milk for cow's milk in mashed potatoes and corn and green bean casseroles.

Breads

• Use soy margarine instead of butter on rolls and substitute “Egg Replacer” for chicken eggs in cornbread.

Dessert

• Substitute soy milk for cow's milk in pie crusts and fillings.
• Try frozen non-dairy dessert on top of pies or cakes.
