20 Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipe Ideas

I can’t believe how fast 2015 is speeding by! Can you believe that we’re only a few weeks away from December? Before we know it everything will be decked out for the holidays, and I can’t wait! I love Christmastime so much. But us Americans can’t get all excited about the upcoming December holiday festivities before first celebrating Thanksgiving.

I know that some people are completely on top of it when it comes to recipe planning for holidays, while others wait until the last minute. I’m somewhere in between the two, and I usually start seriously planning dishes for a holiday a week or two before it happens.

So, today seems like the perfect timing to share some vegetarian Thanksgiving recipe ideas for those of you who fall into the latter categories of holiday meal planners. Some of the recipes were recently published, some are from when I first start blogging, and some are recipes from my friends around the Web…. and all of them are delicious recipes for plant-based eaters and meat eaters alike to enjoy! Let’s get to it.
