Welcome to our Meatless Monday link up! Thanks for joining Tina and I to check out all of your great vegetarian recipes. With Thanksgiving coming up next week, I’ve compiled 1o of my favorite healthy Vegetarian Recipes for you.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I love to host dinner for our family that day. I love the yummy smells coming from the kitchen all day. My husband the non vegetarian takes care of the Turkey and I take over the veggie sides. Below you will find some of my favorite dishes from Thanksgiving dinners in the past. Hope you enjoy!
If you are new to my site and visiting from the Grow Your Blog hop, welcome! Each Monday I post original healthy vegetarian recipes and also host a link up with Tina so others can add their recipes as well.
You can’t have Thanksgiving without Cranberry Sauce right? This fresh pear & orange cranberry sauce is so easy to make and you will never go back to canned sauce again!
Another classic, stuffing, made healthier and yummier with my mushroom, kale & fresh pea stuffing.
Last year, I had a new found love with Brussels sprouts and this has become one of my favorite dishes. Roasted Brussels Sprouts with pecans, cranberry & gorgonzola.
In case you missed this one a few weeks ago, this skinny Sweet Potato Casserole is a delicious healthy twist on the classic.
Looking for a cooked salad this mixture of Warm Fall Veggies with a lemon dressing is perfect!
Everyone has some crazy relatives right? Why not serve them this Wild & Nutty Family Holiday Salad-they will love it.
Looking for a make ahead casserole? This Zucchini Broccoli Casserole is sure to please!
When I made this Cranberry Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash last month, it quickly became an instant favorite. Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Still craving pumpkin? This Pumpkin Kale Lasagna makes a great vegetarian main dish for your holiday dinners.
I made this yummy veggie filled Quattro Vegetali Bake last year and everyone loved it. It makes a great vegetarian main dish.
These a 10 of my favorite Healthy Vegetarian Recipes for Thanksgiving. The hardest part is going to be choosing which one to make this year. Hope you enjoy!

So many great ideas! Those brussels sound amazing. I swear I could eat them every meal.
I am a new fan of brussels too!
Thank you for sharing that great list of recipes. I just tweeted the link!
Thanks so much! Thanks for stopping by today hope to see you again.
Great recipe ideas.
Of course, being from England we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. But we do celebrate Christmas and cranberry sauce is a tradition for Christmas dinner here. I’ve never made it before as I usually buy a jar but I think I might just have to try the pear and orange cranberry sauce.
Thanks! Yes I do think lots of these recipes are perfect for Christmas as well.
I love having vegetarian options on the holidays. Those brussel sprouts though….I could eat forever!
Thanks! I am a new liker of brussels but they are so good!
Wow! Great selection here! The Zucchini broccoli casserole looks intriguing! Thanks for sharing…I”m going to have to do some mega shopping and meal prep for when the boys are home over thanksgiving.
Thanks! I can’t decide what to make this year so many choices
My goal this year is to trick my mom into eating Brussels. I will break her this year.
If anyone can you can!! 🙂
Great list! Those warm fall veggies with lemon dressing sound delicious! Thanks for the linkup 🙂
Thanks! I have no idea what to make this year so many choices!
I love cranberry sauce, stuffing, and sweet potato casserole! All of these options look yummy!
Thanks so much! So many choices…
I am intrigued by the zucchini and broccoli casserole! That sounds so yummy! I also really love Brussels Sprouts with pecans and I just roast them in the oven. Who would have thought they could be that good! Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you too! The broccoli zucchini is one of my faves too. I’ve also made it with squash. Hope you enjoy
The recipes all look delicious! I can’t wait to try the Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries, what a beautiful & colorful dish!!
Thanks so much hope you enjoy it!

Meg
Thanks! Absolutely great for the whole holiday season. Thanks for coming by today
Yes and yum to all of these! My little sister is a vegetarian so I’m always looking for sides that would appeal to her- thanks for sharing!
Thanks! It’s always great to have a few veggie sides at Thanksgiving right? Have a great day
That pumpkin kale lasagna has my name on it! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks! It is one of my faves too.
Love this. I bet the stuffed squash could be a main, if you want to spare the turkey! We made something similar last year and it was delicious and filling!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and yes the stuffed squash is a main dish for sure. I love that they are portion controlled too.
So many delicious options! Forget the turkey I am all over the sides at Thanksgiving! Well ok maybe the pies too! 😉
LOL it’s hard to choose isn’t it?!
Great roundup! I’m looking for more recipes for Thanksgiving so this was a great help!
Thanks so much!
I always get to bring salad to Thanksgiving, and I eat plenty of it. I love sweet potatos but they are always loaded with tons of sugar. I offered to bring your recipe, but I was politely turned down…
Oh no! What do they know??
oooo I wonder if I can convince my family to make brussels this year. YUM! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week!
I know it really is sneaking up on me this year too!
I’m hosting thanksgiving this year…..so I will be coming back to this for sure! Thanks.
Thanks so much hope you find a recipe you like. I am hosting too and have no idea which to make.
I am a big fan of roasted brussels sprouts. They are delicious!!!! Great list.
Thanks! I newly love brussels they are so good!
This year, my cousin who usually does thanksgiving is not well so we’re all coming together to make dinner. I’m looking forward to trying some of these awesome dishes.
I can’t wait to check them all out.
Thanks so much hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving.
I absolutely love the colors in your Roasted Brussels Sprouts dish. And, I’m sure it taste good too! It would be perfect for a festive holiday dinner. I’m a huge fan of zucchini and look forward to trying your Zucchini Broccoli casserole. One of my favorite sides is Spinach & Wild Rice casserole.
Thanks! Spinach and wild rice sounds good too. Maybe you will link it up next week?!
Yes, please to all the sides!! I love Brussels sprouts, I made them for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago and they were surprisingly a hit, but I love the idea of adding cranberries and gorgonzola!
Oh it makes them even yummier 🙂
Your cranberry sauce and brussels recipe look delish! I am saving your page to my favorites so I can make these both for Thanksgiving!
Thanks so much hope you enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving
So many good recipes to choose from! I just realized Thanksgiving is next week (!!), so I need to figure out what side dishes I am making. I am huge fan of roasted brussel sprouts and a sweet potato dish. That pumpkin kale lasagna looks amazing!
Thanks! Yes next week-I can’t decide what to make either
Great round up!
Roasted Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite side dishes ever. Adding cranberries and Gorgonzola takes it over the top!
Yes definitely! Enjoy 🙂
Pumpkin Kale Lasagna! How do you guys come up with these?! Although we are not vegetarians, our family is all over the place on what meats everyone will eat. Vegetarian is always a safe bet. What a great idea – adding cayenne to sweet potatoes! I’m on it. Thank you for sharing the Meatless Monday post! Nice meeting you from Grow Your Blog blog hop! Have a great week!
Thanks so much! I am the only veg in my family so try to keep it interesting to tempt the others to taste it.Thanks so much for stopping by today
Such a great selection, I am a HUGE stuffing girl, I used to joke when I was younger that who needs Turkey, I could just fill up on stuffing and rolls, LOL I will have to give this one a try sometime!
I know! Stuffing is great. Since I don’t waste my time on Turkey more sides for me 🙂
this is a rock star line up! I am playing with acorn squash this year, that may be my new addition. I am still laughing about the cranberry sauce last year that I made ahead of just like you suggested, it was never seen again!!! I got to find that! LOL! Happy Monday!
I do remember that last year with the cranberry sauce! Wow time flies huh?
Quite frankly, I could eat the stuffing, bourbon gravy and homemade cranberries that we make and leave the rest of it LOL! I guess that’s the joy of Thanksgiving – so many delicious foods and options. I think I am going to make that Brussels sprouts recipe. I have been looking for a different green vegetable dish and that fits the bill.
The sides are the best part in my opinion too! Hope you enjoy the brussels-I love the Gorgonzola in there.
Hi there! Being a carnivore I tend to shy away from Meatless Monday foods/recipes but every single one of these sounds delicious! I will definitely be checking them out before next week!!
So my hubs is a total carnivore! It’s all about balance right?!
Yum, all of these look so good! I love Brussel sprouts at Thanksgiving – I could eat a whole bowl of them each year!
I am newly into brussels and now they are one of my faves too.
Thank you for this list, I am putting together a menu and this came right on time! Many of these sound delicious.
Thanks so much hope you find some that inspire you. Happy Thanksgiving
So many delicious recipes to try! I’m especially excited to make the warm fall veggies with lemon dressing and cranberry rice stuffed acorn squash. Thanks for sharing, Deborah!
Thank you for stopping by! Let me know how they come out
Yum! I’m not a vegetarian – as my students like to say, I’m an “omnomivore,” but we do aim for more healthy foods when we can.
You don’t have to be a vegetarian to love veggies especially on Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping in
Homemade cranberry sauce is the best!! Never thought about putting pear in it though. We always do fresh cranberry sauce with orange. yummm May have to try this mushroom and kale stuffing too.. sounds heavenly!
Thanks! I really do enjoy the fresh pear in the cranberry hope you do too!
ooohhh…the pear and cranberry sauce looks totally delish! That’s the one that I’m most drawn to 😉
It’s a great combo hope you give it a try. Happy Thanksgiving!
They all look so good! If I had to choose one it would be the brussels sprouts with cranberries, pecans and Gorgonzola. That sounds amazing!
My favorite side dish for Thanksgiving is Green Bean Casserole. I only make it and eat it one day/year so that is the one time I don’t make a casserole healthy!
I love green bean casserole and I am working on a healthy version of that!
yum! so many good recipes here! I Son’t cook for Thanksgiving, luckily my mom is all over that… I just eat 😉 but I’m bookmarking that pear and cranberry sauce – cranberries are my favorite!
Thanks I love the cranberry sauce too! You don’t cook at all?
Not at all!
True confession…I like eating meat! :–) Still, I’ve been trying really hard to incorporate more veggies into my diet and I’ve been pleased to find out I actually liked most of them! If you had told me a long time ago that I’d say I liked stuff like spinach and kale I would’ve called you crazy! Thinking I might make one of these dishes next week.
It’s ok to like meat too! It’s all about balance and variety right? Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you give some of these a try
I love this post! As a vegan, this is the kind of blog posts I love seeing this time of year. 🙂
The Wild Nutty Family Holiday Salad sounds good, will have to give that a go this holiday season. I’m the only veg in my family, so usually I tend to just pick up an individual meal at Whole Foods or something.
Oh no we can’t have you picking up food at whole foods! hope you find some recipes you like here.
I love eating Brüssels sprouts ,its my Favorit.
Cook it short ,after that with whippedcream and cheese in the oven .
Hmmmm
They are yummy!
These look so yummy! I love roasted Brussels sprouts, and I realllly want to make that sweet potato casserole!
Thanks it was really yummy I think I will be making it again next week
I’m a big fan of orange/cranberry sauce but I’ve never tried it with pear. I’m putting that on my list!
I hope you like it!
