Lentil Loaf

Who needs turkey when you have lentil loaf? Filled with oats, spices and, of course protein-packed lentils, this dense, yet light and fresh dish will leave you as satisfied as the non-vegans! The tangy glaze on top will give the recipe a kick, but if you're not one for zest or spice, you can omit the glaze and the chipotle powder, according to The Simple Veganista. She also recommends not reheating the loaf in its entirety after already baked, in order not to dry the dish out. So for those tasty Thanksgiving leftovers, make sure to cut the loaf up and reheat pieces individually before you devour, to avoid feeling like you're eating a brick!

Green Bean Casserole

If you watched TV in the 90s, you might remember those commercials for green bean casserole using Campbell's mushroom soup, or maybe you associate any sort of casserole with a trip to your grandma's house. Needless to say, traditional casserole has never really appealed to me, but The Minimalist Baker makes a vegan version of this holiday classic that will be the talk of your family gathering (in a good way). It's savory, crunchy and creamy, all while remaining light, and not bogged down by heavy cream or other such ingredients that made me want to run straight out of my grandma's house and all the way home to eat a granola bar instead!

Balsamic & Pecan Brussels Sprouts

If you're a foodie, you know that brussels sprouts have made their debut as a trendy food in the past decade. No longer the questionable boiled blob of your childhood nightmares, this versatile vegetable can be dressed up in a variety of ways for that ultimate crispy, earthy, taste. Even with just a little oil, salt and pepper, they still shine, but with the added tang of balsamic vinegar and crunch of pecans, you'll be taken to the whole next flavor level this Thanksgiving Day.
