My first rule is that since I am partial to animals as friends
rather than food, I don't need to create substitutes for the beast!
A wonderfully festive meal can be had with things like stuffed
winter squash (either a spinach or wild rice stuffing), filo dough
with goodies inside (mushrooms, cheese, spinach......?), a cranberry/
port wine/pineapple/raspberry jello salad (so you don't need to
have something to put your cranberry sauce on) maybe a soup,
and the usual variety of pies.

Actually, I have also eaten quite well even at a conventional thanksgiving
feast, simply by omitting the turkey and gravy!  Between mashed potatoes,
candied yams, other vegies, bread or rolls etc, I often am the only
one who is not totally uncomfortable at the end of meals!
And you ought to try cranberry sauce as well as whipped cream with
your pumpkin pie!
