Alright, whoever is for officially changing the name from turkey day to all the sides day say I.

There’s no I in turkey, but there is definitely one in sIdes. Meet me by the stuffing and mashed squash.

Being a vegetarian at Thanksgiving isn’t too hard, especially when you’re a sides kinda gal like I am. After 9 years, I’m no longer following a vegetarian diet, but am always spreading that good veggie-lovin’ message far and wide. I feel ya. Veggie lovers deserve to have a river of gravy flowing throughout their veins too. If you’ve got ten minutes, I’m here to help. Vegetarian gravy to the rescue!

This one follows the same premise of a traditional gravy, just without the pan drippings and meat juice. I think meat juice is officially as unappetizing-sounding as moist & chunky. (*shivers)

I made this one a little on the thinner side, since globby gravy is not my jam. If you like a thicker gravy, you can cut down the amount of broth used by 1/2 cup. Both are equally delicious, and worthy of your mashed potatoes, stuffing, and All the Sides Day fixins.

Money Saving Tips for this Vegetarian Gravy Recipe:

• Buy stock in carton. Save money and waste at the same time by buying stock in the carton rather than in cans. You can also save up your veggie scraps and make your own too!
• Freeze butter. Butter always has a tendency to go on sale during the holidays. Make the most of it by buying an extra package, and sticking it in your freezer to have on hand.
