It's crazy to think about but here we are in November... already.

Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is already on the horizon. The year went by fast and if you let it, Thanksgiving can feel like another notch on the belt of 2024.

But it doesn't have to be "normal"

The holidays can become routine for many people, especially families. If you have multiple children, it's almost necessary to have a plan you follow every year. Have you ever tried to get your kids prepared for the holidays? Sure, it can go great but it can also go really bad and become very stressful.

Now, we know what you might be asking - what does the stress of the holidays have to do with turkey alternatives? For many people, turkey is the ultimate staple for Thanksgiving.

Well, what better way to spice up Thanksgiving and alleviate the stress than by replacing turkey?

That's right - we said it: get rid of the turkey this Thanksgiving.

Make it fun!

If you're going to replace turkey, you better have something good... or fun. Imagine dealing with all of the stress of the holidays, you're in the car on the way to a Thanksgiving gathering, and when you get there - you don't find turkey.

Instead, you find something different that changes the mood and suddenly, your routine holiday stress is gone.

Okay... maybe it's not that simple but we received some great suggestions of things you can replace the turkey with this year.
