After almost three years of creating delicious vegan recipes for my family and friends, we've accumulated quite a collection of go to recipes that we know will be a hit at our holiday table. All of them are perfect vegan Thanksgiving entrees, apps, desserts, and sides to serve to non-vegan guests. We're making it easy for you and putting everything from cocktails to desserts in one place, so you don't have to spend time searching. Cheers!
VEGAN THANKSGIVING COCKTAIL RECIPES
Let's get the holiday happenings started with my Vegan Pumpkin Spice Martini! This creamy and delicious cocktail is a hit with my neighborhood friends, and it was featured on Bitchin Kitchen's Bitchin Lifestyle TV.com. Enough said.
Pumpkin Spice Martini
Whiskey Cider
If a good stiff drink is more your style, then you're going to love this refreshing Whiskey Cider. After all, very few things go together as well as whiskey and the taste of a crisp apple!
Mulled Spiked Cider
If our Whiskey cider sounds good to you, then you're going to love this next cocktail! Warm apple cider filled with aromatic Fall spices and some more whiskey. Make it in a crockpot to keep this Autumnal beverage warm all night.
VEGAN APPETIZERS
Savory Sweet Potato Bruschetta
Bruschetta is always a winner and that's why this sweet potato version is so perfect for fall. Creamy sweet potatoes piled high on crostini with a dash of vegan cheese! Your guests will be sure to devour the whole platter.
Caramelized Onion and Asparagus Cups
Caramelized Onion and Asparagus cups. You won't be able to eat just one.
Cannellini Bean Dip on Cucumber Chips
These cucumber chips with white bean dip are so fresh and light. Perfect for a snack before the heavier food is introduced.
THANKSGIVING VEGAN SOUP COURSE
Creamy Roasted Carrot, Garlic, and Rosemary Soup
Impress your guests with a terrine of this gorgeous and delicious roasted carrot soup. Isn't the color absolutely perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner?
Vegan Cream of Celery Soup
Did you know that celery makes an amazing soup? It does, and just look at that gorgeous color.
VEGAN SIDE DISH RECIPES
Cranberry Clementine Sauce
Thanksgiving dinner wouldn't be complete without a big bowl of tangy cranberry sauce.
Winter Citrus Salad
Salads are always welcome at the table. This Winter citrus salad is a refreshing side to a vegan Thanksgiving entree.
Warm Acorn Squash, Quinoa, and Lentil Salad with Sage Dressing
Talk about the perfect Fall salad! Warm roasted squash alongside hearty quinoa and heart healthy lentils.
Christmas, or Thanksgiving, Power Salad with Orange Dressing
There's something about citrus on Thanksgiving that we love! Probably because it feels like such a palate cleanser between all the buttery and comforting vegan Thanksgiving entrees.
Spicy Stir Fried Brussels Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts! I'm kind of obsessed. Here are a couple of ways to serve them.
Breaded Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts
I think the only way to make roasted Brussels sprouts even better is to add a slight sweetness and breading! Your guests are going to be obsessed with these. Healthier Homemade Biscuits
Homemade biscuits are a mandatory part of Thanksgiving dinner. It's not as hard as you think to bake a fresh batch of warm and delicious biscuits.
Vegan Porcini Mushroom Gravy
Gravy! Mashed potatoes demand a velvety gravy.
Spicy Sizzled Green Beans
Green beans and Thanksgiving dinner go together like PB & J, but mine are a little spicy.
VEGAN THANKSGIVING ENTREES TO IMPRESS YOUR GUESTS
Smoky Southern-Style Meatless Meatloaf
My Southern style "meatloaf" will be sitting front and center on our dining table this year. It's so good! You won't find any nuts, soy, or lentils in this loaf. The texture is fabulous and you can make an awesome sandwich with it the next day.
Vegan Lentil Loaf
Our lentil loaf is loaded with roasted veggies.
Vegetable Wellington
If you really want to impress your guests, make my vegetable Wellington. It's beautiful and delicious!
Vegan Walnut and Almond Loaf
If you want something beautiful and full of flavor and protein, my walnut and almond loaf is what you're looking for.
Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa and Kale
My stuffed acorn squash will add something different to your holiday table. The presentation is gorgeous and it's healthy and filling. It's one of our favorite vegan Thanksgiving entrees!
VEGAN THANKSGIVING DESSERTS
This is the happiest part of Thanksgiving dinner. Sweets for the sweetest people in your life.
Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie. Am I right? My family loves my pie recipe, I hope yours will too.
Vegan Pumpkin Pie
A classic must-have at every Thanksgiving!
Homemade Apple Cinnamon Pie
If pumpkin pie isn't your jam, how about a big slice of apple pie?
Vegan Pumpkin Spic Cookies
Pumpkin spice cookies are perfect for coffee and lounging at the table.
Vegan Spice Cake
This spice cake recipe has been a family favorite for generations. I love it so much!
Vegan Peppermint Mocha
If you're too full to eat another bite, but you want something sweet, my peppermint mocha coffee is the perfect dessert. And you'll get a quick burst of energy from the caffeine!
I'll be whipping up several of the above recipes next week. You can bet that Brussels sprouts, green beans, and mashed potatoes and gravy will be on my table, as will pumpkin pie. What will be on your Thanksgiving menu?
Are you hosting Thanksgiving or will you be a guest?

Linda, anyone who thinks that vegan food isn't for anyone and everyone has never met you. My stomach is completely grumbling and I am drooling my head off.
Linda Meyer says
Awww.... Thanks, my friend. I'm feeling very flattered and humbled all at the same time. Grumble and drool away. 🙂

Every Thanksgiving its really just my immediate family (me, hubby & kids) but this year we may actually have some guests & I'm so excited because they will really appreciate our Vegan Thanksgiving. I love this list though, so helpful when trying to mix different diets & preferences. (Oh, and I totally prefer Pumpkin over Apple!)
Linda Meyer says
It's so nice to feed people who appreciate NOT having a dead bird at the table-haha! My brother and his husband became vegetarians a few years ago and they're coming for dinner next week. I'm so excited because they get it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Nicole. And yes, pumpkin is my choice too!
Strength and Sunshine says
I always like pulling out all the stops to showcase all the vegan/gf goodies when we have holidays!
Linda Meyer says
I'm sure your family appreciates that! 🙂
Kristina says
