With the holidays fast approaching I thought it would be great to share a tried & tested Vegan Turkey dinner recipe, paired with 6 delicious sides. Dessert is on your own but I suggest Vegan Apple Pie with Vanilla Oat Ice Cream, yum!

Like any other traditional Christmas dinner it does take a full day of cooking and preparing but it is well worth the effort. Some of these recipes are adapted and others are of my own or rather I should give credit to my awesome mother here, haha. I hope you enjoy them and please take photos and share them with me. I would love to see your awesome Vegan Christmas Dinner Feast.

I’ve also included a Downloadable/Printable Menu incase you are hosting close family or friends and wanted to look fancy.
