I’m sure it’s delicious, but I don’t get it. That seems like a main course, not a side. A lot of the sides people would make wouldn’t really go with lasagna.

You make it OP. The rest of us do not want eggplant lasagna.

There are plenty of alternatives to turkey. That is not one of them.

What is this substituting for? It sounds like a substitute for lasagna with meat but I don’t serve that at thanksgiving. The closest I get is Mac and cheese which is already vegetarian.

I’m hosting some vegetarian friends for a thanksgiving adjacent meal this Friday and my main is vegetarian Boston baked beans instead of turkey. It felt like it fit — good traditional New England food without introducing fake meat (which none of us like) or centring the meal around real meat (which most of the guests don’t eat). But if you prefer lasagna, enjoy!

What's the best alternate if turkey is too expensive for a lot of pregnant mothers? Just asking. A roast chicken?

What do you mean too expensive? Turkey is down to $.99 a lb in some places. You can't get much cheaper than that. Maybe state the budget for the meal and people can come up with an affordable but festive menu.

Turkey is very inexpensive this time of year. Look for a good sale.

Don't have the pregnant mother pay for the turkey? I don't understand the question. Are you hosting a group of teens moms?

This thread is headed for Spearta.

PP - how many pregnant mothers are at this dinner? If on-sale turkey is too expensive for you, eggplant lasagna won't be cheaper.

Eggplant goes in moussaka not lasagna. No need to fck with either dish.

Expectant mother's need to start saving early for their turkey. Ideally the expectant father should pay for part of the meal, especially if she is covering the turkey.

Though only part of the meal goes to the fetus. I say pregnant mother pays for 60% of her own meal. YMMV

Who are the alternatives? Pregnant mothers should not be anyone's alternate.

Is this some baller with a wife and a bunch of APs who are all pregnant?
