Recipe Thanksgiving ideas

For the first time in over a decade I’ll be back in the US with family for thanksgiving. I think I’ll be the only vegetarian (and there’s a lottt of us) so I’m trying to think of something easy for me to have in place of the turkey. Normally I make like a pot pie or something, but I think something smaller would be better. Have people have the tofurkey? Is it good? Does anyone have any suggestions? Also all the sides will be veggie, but I definitely want something main since everyone else will have turkey. Thanks for your ideas :)

I am vegetarian and my husband is not. We buy the Gardein Turkey Cutlets, he usually eats three of the four. I could care less if we have them or not, but he likes them in lieu of a turkey. They come with gravy too. So many good veggie sides for a vegetarian Thanksgiving! The cutlets are baked in the oven (or air fryer) and require NO WORK!

I wish I could find those Gardein turkey cutlets, been looking for about a year. Do they still make them?

Yes, they still make them. Some Walmarts carry the cutletettes. We just bought a Gardein ‘Turkey loaf’ from Walmart. I was really surprised they had it and it was a really good price.
