Maybe you’re like me and you have heard the word “Vegan,” but you weren’t entirely sure what being Vegan was all about yet you were curious.

Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products, and all other animal-derived ingredients.

Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines. 

Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating, or to the diet itself.

That is, the word vegan can be an adjective used to describe a food item, as in, “This curry is vegan”, or, it can be used as a noun, as in, “Vegans like cookies, too.”

So, keeping this in mind, I did a search to find out what Vegans would make for Thanksgiving.

Quite honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. Many of the recipes included food that I would be happy to add to my family feast. 

Below I have listed several of my favorite Vegan Recipes for different Thanksgiving courses.

Please try to keep your mouth from watering as you read.
