Turn your turkey carcass into a spectacular gumbo
A tasting of four meatless “turkeys” for the holiday table
Slideshow: Turkey-ish Delight
No actual turkeys were harmed in the making of this slideshow. But if any turkeys die of embarrassment after watching it, we can't blame 'em and you can't blame us.
Now kick back with a glass of the perfect turkey-day wine and enjoy. And if you've got pics of your own turkey-creations, send 'em our way!
