Idk a lot, they usually do a ham and turkey…
I’ve been vegetarian for 15 years so I’m a sides guy on Thanksgiving.

Side note.
I just had to go vegetarian for my health and I’m having trouble finding things to eat that aren’t salad or rice and beans. Good news is I’ve lowered my cholesterol 20 points and lost 30 pounds.
But - I’m getting so sick of the same thing again and again. Do you have any recipes or tips?
Thanks

Cold lentil salad. Chickpeas.in the oven. Soya meet substitute. If you exclude fish: rice with tuna, shrimps, squid.
Not a vegan nor a vegetarian but boy, do I know how to cook. I am Greek anyway, we are famous for our cuisine.

Skinnytaste is a website with a bunch of really good recipes, you can sort by vegetarian. We haven’t found many duds, usually needs a bit more seasoning to taste, but the solid foundations are there, even for non-vegetarian dishes. Worth a look!

I’m Mexican so I just exclude meat from most dishes if they don’t offer a meat substitute.
I’ll eat a lot of lentils, beans, quinoa and brown rice when I can.
At home impossible or beyond gounds get a lot of play.
I also eat a lot of Asian dishes as I can get/make those with tofu.
I’m in SoCal so I have a lot of vegetarian options for dining out.
For getting out of ruts, try the same proteins but different seasonings.
I’ll swap in different hot sauces, salsas, curries etc.

Forget my last comment.
Here is the website of the most famous (by far) television chef in greece:
Do not let the Greek language intimidate you. Too left corner of the screen you will see “ΕΛ”. Just tap and change to “EN”.
Just search accordingly.
Thank me later!!!

You can combine the two. Go ahead and make a racist comment for greek cuisine to your heart’s content!

I do a ton of Asian stuff - easy to exclude meat.
I’ll have to try impossible for when o cook Mexican foods. That’s a good idea.

Can’t do it. Real Greek gyros are among my most favorite of foods. 
Hard to find fully seasoned ones in US. At least it is in my city.

Fairly decent! I still havenr successfully made them well myself at home, but there are some good ones at restaurants for sure. Buffalo Wild Wings are pretty good!
