When we think of a traditional Thanksgiving meal, one of the first things that comes to mind is turkey.
But, obviously, not everyone consumes meat, so what can vegetarians — or people who just want to eat less meat — have for Thanksgiving that is just as, if not more, enjoyable than the big bird?
Fortunately, there's a thing called Pinterest, which we perused to find our favourite vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes (with some vegan options thrown in) that will certainly inspire you.
So whether you're having the family over, or if you're bringing a potluck dish to dinner, you'll be sure to find a delicious veggie dish that goes beyond squash and plum pudding.
