[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you're making it too complicated for yourself.

https://tofurky.com/what-we-make/roasts/feast/

Tofurky has a 'feast' which includes a vegan turkey with stuffing, gravy, and a brownie. I don't serve the brownie because I'm able to provide vegan pumpkin pie and it feels kind of weird/sad, but the roast and gravy + normally roasted vegetables in olive oil is a good solution. Having served this for my sister for many years I find I have to use extra vegetable broth and cover it tightly to prevent it from being too dry but otherwise she is happy with it.

You can add a few potatoes to the roasted vegetables and serve them instead of making 2 batches of mashed potatoes, or use vegan butter on all the mashed potatoes.[/quote]

Vegetarian here - I think OP is being incredibly nice and thoughtful. Just be aware the Tofurky is notoriously terrible. I actually kind of like it, but it's awful - there are much better alternatives now.

I think some potatoes, roasted veggies, perhaps a vegan green bean casserole (very easy to make), cranberry sauce, and one of those Fieldroasts or some other thing like that is more than enough. Bread is always good. It's very easy to make a vegan stuffing, if you want to try it. Vegan mac and cheese is no sweat if you feel like giving it a go. You can buy a vegan pie from Trader Joe's or wherever - or vegan ice cream. There's tons of store bought options.

Maybe ask your cousin what they would eat if they were doing Thanksgiving for themselves for more ideas. It's probably easier for them to propose dishes than for you to try to guess what they will like. Bringing in is a great idea if you've got a local store that does pre-made vegan Thanksgiving food. I don't think most will last two days, but you can ask your WF what they think.

And on behalf of non-meaties everywhere, thank you for being accomodating.[/quote]
