OK, I'm too lazy to post recipes (although I love to read them), but
here are a few ideas for a vegee turkey day.

My sister and I (2 of 6 siblings) are ovo-lacto and we don't eat fish
or poultry.  We also happen to be the two most serious cooks in the
family, so we are pretty much able to control the menu.  My brothers
and my father demand a turkey, so the problem is to create a menu that
has veggie courses which can function alone as well as in harmony with
a big meat course.  Here's a fairly typical distribution of chores
for t-day:

	My sister:  Breads, Meditteranean spinach pie (like Spanikopita,
		    but in a large round pan.), crunchy vegetables and dip.

	Mom: Stuffed Turkey, vegetarian stuffing, whipped butternut squash

	Me:  Ratatouille Nicoise, Cheesecake

This always seems to make the family (and 4 or 5 friends) fat and happy.
