What to Eat When Turkey is Off the Table

There are plenty of reasons why people may choose not to serve a Thanksgiving turkey, but that doesn't mean your meal has to be anything less than special. Rather than trying to replicate the drama of a huge roasted turkey, just make delicious food you and your guests will love. You may even find that you can simplify the holiday dinner! Here are some of our favorite meat-free holiday recipes and some tips for adapting them to suit your needs.

Apple Slab Pie

If you prefer a higher ratio of crust to filling, then slab pies are for you! The filling is thick enough to allow you to easily eat a slice “out of hand” without utensils. They are also convenient to serve as they can be sliced easily into narrow pieces or wedges to feed a crowd.
