FOOD | Julianne Glatz

There’s no other holiday so intimately connected with a single food as Thanksgiving.

That food is turkey. It’s estimated that more than 49 million turkeys will be on Thanksgiving tables this year.

But what about vegetarians, especially when they’re celebrating the holiday with omnivores like me? Since they usually can’t make it home for a short weekend, my vegetarian daughter, Anne, and son-in-law, Ben, frequently host Thanksgiving dinners in their NYC apartment for east coast friends and family. While there’s always turkey (prepared by my son, Robb, down from Boston), Anne serves a couple delectable dishes equally appropriate as sides or vegetarian entrées.

They’ve become part of their own special Thanksgiving tradition. And they’re wonderful entrees even for non-vegetarians or when it’s not Thanksgiving!
