Roasted turkey is usually the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving dinner, but what if you want to try something different and replace it with another dish? Here are the three most popular alternatives that you can use to replace roasted turkey or serve as a side dish this Thanksgiving.
Roasted Goose
Roasted turkey is usually served at Thanksgiving due to its wide availability in the US, but it can be easily replaced with other birds. Roasted goose or duck are two of the most popular options, and they were served as European centerpieces of Christmas dinners in the past.
Honey Glazed Ham
Honey glazed ham is another popular alternative to roasted turkey, and it’s not difficult to see why. Its taste is impossible to resist, and you should consider serving it as a side dish if not as a main course because it will take your Thanksgiving dinner to the next level.
Vegan Alternatives
If you’re trying to put a plant-based twist on Thanksgiving, the turkey will have to go, but there are many vegan alternatives you can use instead. Several brands offer plant-based take on turkey roast, but you can also make your own version with tofu or seitan, or use one of the side dishes, such as stuffed squash as a centerpiece.
