Once again, The New York Times is making it crystal clear that a Turkey-free Thanksgiving is not only non-tragic, but actually a culinary delight! As they did last year, the folks at the Well blog will be posting an array of Thanksgiving themed recipes for veggie soups, sides, main courses, salads and desserts every day for the next three weeks.

The way they figure it, turning the focus of the largest, most elaborate meal you’re likely to eat all year on a plethora of fresh fall fruits and vegetables rather than a big dead bird can be an excellent way to alter your regular eating habits and inspire inventive and healthy cooking the other 364 days. Touche.

As you’d expect, they’re kicking things off in high style with four palate-pleasing recipes from popular vegan chef and author, Nava Atlas. A star lineup of famous chefs, cookbook  authors and TV food personalities are ready and waiting to wow with their own contributions, so be sure to check back daily for the latest and greatest!
