Vegan Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup

Do you think going vegan means giving up your
favorite holiday meals? Does a turkey-free

Thanksgiving sound desolate and wrong?

Is your only impression of a vegan Thanksgiving this thing?

[horror music]

Well fear not,
because I’m here to show you how to have

a deliciously abundant and epically ethical
thanksgiving dinner.

Hi it’s Emily from Bite Size Vegan and welcome
to another vegan nugget. While Thanksgiving

is certainly a time to gather with family
and focus on the things we’re grateful for,

if we’re really being honest, it’s about
food. Lots and lots of food.

Now if you’re a new vegan or considering
going vegan, the idea of a Thanksgiving without

the familiar turkey-based array may seem disheartening.
That’s why today I’ve brought in a team

of specialists to create an epic vegan spread
for your holiday meal. Here at Bite Size Vegan,

I tend to focus on the “why” of being
vegan, speaking to the ethical and moral basis

for a vegan lifestyle and encouraging people
to make the connection between the food on

their plate and the individuals from which
it originated. To find out about the ethical

issues with American Thanksgiving, including
the horrors that turkeys endure, you can check

out my video on the truth about Thanksgiving.
But equally important is the “how” of

being vegan because you can make the connection
and decide to never eat at the expense of

another being again, but strong ethics and
morals won’t make you a sandwich.

Trust me…I’ve tried.

And if you know me, you’re familiar with
my serious lack of culinary skills. So I’ve

teamed up with eight incredibly kitchen-adept
vegan YouTubers to bring you the “how to”

of an epically ethical Thanksgiving dinner.
They’re each going to give you a little

peak into their dish and then I’ll give
you the link to the full playlist a the end.

And when you do head over to their videos,

ado, let’s get thankful!

Mary’s Test Kitchen starts us
off with a stuffed Seitan Roast with Mushroom gravy.

Mary: This Thanksgiving, hail Seitan! with
this savory seitan roast stuffed with herbacious

classic holiday red dressing. Show no mercy
and drown it in mushroom gravy. And pay no

attention to the mess as you devour its innards-
it's delicious, cruelty-free innards, that is.

Sim’s Kitchenette brings us a festive stuffed
pumpkin recipe.

Hey guys welcome back to Sim's Kitchenette.
As most of you probably know, we are traveling

at the moment, so you will be seeing us in
different kitchens. Anyway let me get to the

point- today's recipe is a stuffed pumpkin
recipe for Thanksgiving. This is actually

a collaboration with other YouTubers and I
will link to their vegan Thanksgiving recipes

at the end of this video, so make sure you
check them out!

You do not need to eat meat!

Mmmm. That is so yum!

The Veggie Nut provides a delightful dish
of roasted roots

Shannon: Hi everyone, I'm Shannon Lee with
the Veggie Nut. I will be sharing my very

easy, very delicious roasted root recipe.
And this dish is a real crowd-pleaser. It's

great for Thanksgiving or any time of the
year. So if you're interested in this recipe,

stay tuned and I hope to see you then. Bye!

Cobi from Veggietorials creates a beautiful
quinoa cauliflower mash.

Jenelle York of York and Spoon provides a
unique take on a thanksgiving staple with

her citrus spiked cranberry sauce.

Jenelle: This is a very simple recipe. Now
if you're used to the cranberry sauce in the

can, this isn't going to be anywhere near
as sweet as you're used to- this is so much

better for us.

Andre from the Unhealthy Vegan Lab weighs
in with his epic Thanksgiving Burger 2.0

Andre: Hey everybody this is Andre from UnhealthyVeganLab.

In July we did the Thanksgiving Burger.

But now, for Thanksgiving, I'm actually going

Oh!

I hope you guys are ready for this!

And Plant Based Judy finishes us out with
a decadent pumpkin pie.
