Vegetarian Thanksgiving Dinner (Gravy and Mashed Potatoes)

Updated: Jan 22, 2021



This vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner of "sausage" stuffing, mashed potatoes and amazing gravy, buns, and veggies holds its own as a very tasty and filling meal. There certainly is a lot of butter in these recipes but it's totally worth it!!! The gravy especially can fool anyone into thinking it's made for meat eaters.


Please refer to recipes here:


Otherwise look below for how to make the gravy and mashed potatoes:


Mashed Potatoes:

  1. Cover the potatoes with water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and boil gently for 15-20 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.

Onions before frying in 1 Tbsp. butter.


After frying, the pic is a bit blurry... Then you take them out, put them to the side, and continue.


After melting the 4 Tbsp. butter and adding 1/4 cup flour. Now we stir and cook 3 minutes.


After cooking 3 minutes. Then we slowly pour int he broth and cook until thickened.
