Here is a vegan choice to the traditional Thanksgiving turkey....a casserole amongst the flavors of Turkey.

For hours after our conversation together with piece cleaning my house, this recipe slow evolved inwards my mind. I made it a few days after together with it was good, but tasted a niggling apartment when served without the Cranberry Sauce. It needed something acidic to residual the flavors. I idea nearly using tomatoes, vinegar, or citrus but wanted to continue those out inwards gild to create a recipe that didn't consist of whatever mutual allergens (citrus together with tomatoes are common).

Granny Smith Apples! Yes!

I added 2 peeled, chopped apples to the casserole together with made it i time again today using Cranberry Beans instead of Cannelini beans. It was delicious! I served it amongst my Whole Grain Flatbread recipe for dinner this evening.

I should advert that my kids didn’t similar the casserole….unfortunately. They commonly volition entirely consume crush if it is made into a puréed soup. I don’t know why they are picky amongst this vegetable, but they are. Luckily I had also only made a large pot of lentil soup which they happily devoured!

Please Federal Reserve annotation that these photos were taken amongst my get-go batch of casserole. The 2nd batch (the next recipe) has to a greater extent than of a saucy casserole experience from the apples which practically autumn apart during cooking.
