The Tofurky® feast is a Thanksgiving favorite for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. |
Delicious and compassionate holiday meals have never been more popular.
Even a recent Wall Street Journal article highlighted the versatility and variety of vegetarian Thanksgiving foods. One of the best-known products is Tofurky®.
The faux roast can be served with all the trimmings ... and it's just one of the ways families are choosing to celebrate the season—while celebrating animals, too.
"Whether for the animals, health, or the environment, Americans are incorporating more plant-based options into their diets, and Thanksgiving's a great time to give a meatless meal a try," said Paul Shapiro, senior director of The HSUS's factory farming campaign.
Give Thanks for Many Humane Choices
Try surrounding a Tofurky with mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams, cranberry sauce and vegetables. Or stick with the season by serving wild-rice- or apple-stuffed butternut squash as the centerpiece of your holiday meal. Still hungry?
