Vegan Thanksgiving Menu Ideas (25+ Recipes that everyone loves)

Thanksgiving is coming up! For us we’ve been cooking up comfort food since mid October with Diwali and meeting with friends and family. Thanksgiving is another occasion to get together over great food. Whether you’re having a bunch of friends over for Friendsgiving or are hosting this year’s family Thanksgiving dinner, here are some great Vegan Thanksgiving menu options!

Many of these dishes have been tried and tested and have pleased a mixed crowd.

Besides a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with classics like vegan Wellington or a holiday roast, you’ll also find an Indian Thanksgiving menu with the best Indian Inspired dishes for the holidays. The mixed menu is for all of us who want to include both classics and some experimental alternatives.

But what’s stopping you from picking your favorite menu items from any of the lists and just mix them to make a truly unique Thanksgiving dinner that none of your guests are likely to forget anytime soon! Whether you want to make a 5 course gourmet dinner or a comforting cozy dinner, I’ve got you covered.
