A Dairy-Free Thanksgiving Menu

Dungeness Crab Toast with Avocado

Fresh Dungeness crab and avocado are a match made in heaven. Here, the combination is transformed into a delicious appetizer served on crostini.

Cauliflower-Kale Soup with Crispy Kale Topping

Kale lends a beautiful green color to this silky cauliflower soup, which gets its texture from olive oil and stock instead of milk. A garnish of crispy kale chips and pine nuts adds a satisfying crunch.

Grainy mustard is delicious mixed with apple juice and cider vinegar in this dressing. The pears turn sweet when roasted, and toasted pumpkin seeds add texture — the flavors are so bold, you won’t miss any cheese.

Turkey Two Ways

Cooking the turkey in sections is an easy way to make sure that both the white and dark meat stay tender and juicy. Here, we brine and confit the thighs and drumsticks, and apply a spiced rub on the breast before roasting.

Wrinkled Potatoes with Green Dipping Sauce

Mashed potatoes do a fine job of soaking up the flavors on a Thanksgiving plate. But for a departure from the norm, try these boiled “wrinkled” potatoes paired with a a bright acidic dipping sauce.

Focaccia Stuffing with Sausage and Chestnuts

Instead of butter, Italian sausage, olive oil and roasted chestnuts flavor this savory stuffing. It’s made with our mix, created by the legendary La Brea Bakery of Los Angeles.

Green Beans with Sweet-and-Sour Bacon Dressing

Sweet, salty and sour flavors mingle irresistibly in this simple yet bold-flavored dish of green beans dressed in a bacon vinaigrette. It’s a festive addition to a Thanksgiving spread, but you’ll love using the recipe for summer picnics, too!

Tart Cranberry Sorbet

Sweetened tart cranberries are the star of this refreshing, elegant dessert. It makes for a light, beautiful finale to a filling holiday meal.
