Thanksgiving without turkey? If you're a vegetarian, you don't have much choice in the matter. But vegetarians don't have to skip the main course altogether, thanks to ever-reliable tofu. This recipe for tofu turkey (known to some as tofurkey) comes courtesy of VegWeb.com.

Vegetarians can eat special casseroles or nut roasts, which combine ground nuts, bread crumbs and sometimes eggs with a vegetable sauce, says Barbara Jackson, founding president of the Vegetarian Association of Toronto.

Vegetarians in Montreal can go to l'Herberie, a vegetarian restaurant serving tofurkey, made from tofu. It comes with gravy but isn't stuffed, says owner Mark Fagen.
