Vegan Holiday Comfort Food: 4 Plant-Based Recipes for the Table

FlavorVille Radio brings together four holiday comfort-food dishes built around rich plant-based flavors, mushrooms, herbs, cranberries, pasta, and classic seasonal sides.

These recipes are designed for a holiday table where the food still feels generous, familiar, and comforting — without relying on traditional meat or dairy.

Vegan Turkey With Cornbread Dressing and Mushroom Gravy

Start with a large vegan turkey-style roast and season it with olive oil, black pepper, onion powder, and a small amount of vegetable broth.

For the dressing, crumble prepared vegan cornbread into a large bowl. Add cooked celery, cooked onion, dried sage, dried thyme, black pepper, vegetable broth, and chopped roasted mushrooms. Bake until the top becomes golden and crisp.

For the mushroom gravy, brown sliced mushrooms, then add vegetable broth and your favorite plant-based milk. Thicken gently with cornstarch mixed with cold water.

Slice the vegan turkey and serve it over the cornbread dressing with mushroom gravy spooned over the top.

Stuffed Mostaccioli Holiday Bake

Cook mostaccioli until just tender and set aside.

Brown mushrooms and soften spinach. Combine plant-based ricotta with mushrooms, spinach, plant-based parmesan, dried basil, and black pepper.

Fill the pasta with the ricotta mixture and arrange it over tomato sauce in a baking dish. Cover with additional tomato sauce, plant-based mozzarella, and plant-based parmesan.

Bake until the sauce bubbles around the edges and the top becomes golden.

Vegan Turkey Roulade With Dressing and Cranberry Glaze

Flatten a vegan turkey-style roast into a rectangle when the product allows shaping.

Spread prepared cornbread dressing through the center, then add spinach and roasted mushrooms. Roll tightly into a log and secure if needed.

Brush lightly with olive oil and season with sage, thyme, onion powder, and black pepper.

For the cranberry glaze, simmer cranberries with orange juice and organic cane sugar until thick and glossy.

Serve thick slices of the roulade with roasted potatoes and cranberry glaze.

Creamy Vegan Mac and Cheese With Crispy Mushroom Topping

Cook elbow pasta until just tender.

Make a sauce using plant-based butter, flour, plant-based milk, shredded plant-based cheddar, plant-based mozzarella, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper.

Fold the pasta into the sauce and transfer it to a baking dish.

Brown chopped mushrooms and combine them with plant-based breadcrumbs and melted plant-based butter. Scatter the mixture over the macaroni and bake until bubbling and deeply golden.
