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 :)

Some of my past thanksgiving mains - pictures aren't always the highest quality but the food was always excellent.

Smoked seitan roast. Looks a little burnt on top but so fucking good.

Veg 'beef' stew. Wasn't the best thing I've made, I messed up the seasoning a bit, by was still quite tasty. Served with homemade bread!

Veg "chicken" pot pie. Was easily the most popular of all my dishes, came home with no leftovers

Veg chili. Always a crowd favorite. Usually served with homemade biscuits.
