As a vegan, Thanksgiving isn't just about the turkey and buttery mashed potatoes that you don't eat. There are so many other delicious, healthy recipes you can whip up to savor all the flavours of fall and to enjoy with your family and friends. If you're cooking for your household or just for yourself, stop at Trader Joe's to pick up these vegan products to help make your Thanksgiving even more scrumptious and to save you time in the kitchen.
Trader Joe's Holiday Vegetable Hash
Look for this holiday vegetable hash in the fridge section, and use it to make vegan cranberry-pear wild rice stuffing, a veggie soup, or a vegan shepherd's pie.
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter
Put a jar of Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter on the table next to the rolls for a sweeter smear than traditional butter — it's totally dairy-free!
Trader Joe's Frozen Mashed Sweet Potato
What a genius idea and a time saver. You'll love that this has only one ingredient — sweet potatoes!

Trader Joe's Organic Canned Pumpkin
Get out your vegan pumpkin pie recipe or use this canned pumpkin to make pumpkin pie pudding [1].
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pie Spice
Of course you can use this to make a spice dessert like homemade pumpkin or apple pie, or vegan apple pear crisp. But you can also sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over mashed sweet potatoes or roasted root veggies, like butternut squash or carrots.

Doesn't a pumpkin vegetable curry sound amazing for your main Thanksgiving meal?
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Rolls
These are so delicious and perfect to make the morning of, or the morning after, Thanksgiving.
Pumpkins and Gourds
You can buy their pie pumpkins (these are different than the ones you buy to carve) to make a truly homemade pumpkin pie or pumpkin bisque [2], but Trader Joe's also sells ornamental pumpkins and gourds to decorate your porch or Thanksgiving table.
