Thanksgiving Faux Turkey Recipe

I love that it's stuffed with stuffing! Haha! Looks delicious and creative, I'm a sucker for anything with Fillo dough, so to me this sounds like heaven :)

Every year my sister and I make two menus: a vegan one and omnivore one. I cook most of the vegan stuff while she and my mom cook the dairy-meaty stuff. We usually have a tofurky feast, along with green beans and almonds, vegan pumpkin pie, and mashed sweet potatos with  vegan marshmallows on top. So yummy! 

One of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes is sliced sweet potatoes and onions drizzled with a mixture of Earth Balance Buttery Spread, maple syrup, and thyme, baked until potatoes are done.  Really yummy and not too sweet.

Now this is a very interesting recipe and that stuffing looks yumm!

For the past three thanksgivings since I've been (the only) vegan, the tradition has been that for lunch at my mom's, I would bring dessert (which now seems to ALWAYS be cinnamon rolls!) while she whipped me up a vegan dish for me to enjoy,  usually consisting of asian noodles and tofu. Then we head to my in-laws for dinner. For dinner at my in-laws I usually always bring my sesame-noodle dish (per request of my mother-in-law) which could be vegan minus the chicken, and my own full-course meal cause unfortunately southern soul food cookin' is never vegan! But this year I am super excited cause this is the first vegan thanksgiving for my mom and dad so we've got a whole menu planned for both the vegs and omnis! And I'm still bringin the cinnamon rolls! LOL.

I think I'll be celebrating with a Celebration Roast this year, maybe a tofurky, I got anxious and bought one a couple weeks ago and it was so good! I would love to make a vegan pumpkin pie, but not sure I'll have the time. Us groomers are working hard to make everyones pooch nice and pretty for the holidays too. I might just pick one up from Whole foods!

Have a nice meat free Holiday everyone!

This recipe sounds awesome and is easy enough that I"m going to try it this year -- hopefully it will become my new cruelty-free go-to Thanksgiving main course. I usually just make vegan stuffing and a pumpkin cheesecake to share with everyone and load up on the veggies and sweet potatoes at my sister's house.
