A vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner 感恩節素席

In the past I had always roasted a turkey on Thanksgiving day each year. I didn't roast a turkey this year, since my elder son didn't come home to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. Instead I prepared a vegetarian Thanksgiving feast for just three of us - my husband, my younger son and myself. The feast included Tofurky roast and gravy, stuffing, green beans, Brussels sprouts , sweet potatoes, white rice, vegetarian fried rice and taro walnut bread. The dinner was very satisfying.


Tofurky roast is unexpectedly delicious! My husband, who doesn't want to become a vegetarian yet, declared that he could have Tofurky roast, instead of turkey, on Thanksgiving in the future.


Chestnut stuffing - was based on a Martha Stewart recipe. This was a great way to use up my stash of frozen breads. I also used the vegetable broth that I had made yesterday in this stuffing.


Green beans with walnuts was based on a recipe in the "The Culinary Institute of America's Gourmet Meals in Minutes", p. 287. I overcooked the green beans a bit.


Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin - a Trader Joe's product.
