Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes?

My aunt is having thanksgiving, and she isn't making anything vegetarian, so I need some veg. thanksgiving recipies.thanks!Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes?
You could make a stuffed acorn squash. I made this last year and it was fairly quick and easy.





Stuffed Acorn Squash





1 slice whole grain bread


4 sesame seed crackers


1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil


1/2 cup finely chopped onion


1 stalk celery, chopped


1 clove garlic, finely chopped


4 ounces smoked tofu, diced


1 cup cooked brown rice


1/4 cup seedless raisins or dried cranberries


1/3 cup toasted walnuts or pecans, chopped


1/2 cup vegetable broth


Salt and pepper to taste


1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage


1 medium acorn squash, halved lengthwise, seeds removed


Method





Preheat oven to 400掳F. Combine the bread with the crackers in a blender or food processor and puree to make crumbs. Set aside.





Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, celery, garlic and tofu and cook until onions are transparent, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the reserved crumbs, brown rice, raisins, nuts and broth. Add salt, pepper and sage and stir well.





Place squash in a 7- x 11-inch baking dish. (You may have to cut a thin slice off the bottom of the squash so it will sit up straight in the dish.) Fill squash halves with the tofu mixture, then cover with foil and bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until squash is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Serve immediately.
