Creative Turkey Alternatives
If you are skipping the turkey this year, there are lots of creative alternatives you could try. The every popular tofurky or another meat free turkey substitution could be what your table needs. Or, you could get a little more creative and make a wide variety of tasty veggie dishes, go for an internationally themed meal, or, at my house, we are having a cook out. We aren't skipping meat, but we are skipping turkey.
If you still need ideas, check out this alterna-turkey slideshow from Grist. There are turkey shapes made from vegetables, cupcakes that look like turkeys and even a turkey made from tampons. You can't eat them all but they are all definitely alternatives to a regular turkey.
