Thanksgiving?

Frankly, I don’t have the time, am too broke and too lazy to travel this year for Thanksgiving, so for the first time ever, I’m ditching my wonderful and much-loved extended family to hold a Thanksgiving for my New York friends at my house (which, as soon as my mom found out about, she decided to forgo travel and spend the holiday with my friends as well. What can I say? We’re a lazy family when it comes to leaving the city.)
Three years ago I hosted my family at my loft, gathered up all the vegetarian courage I could muster, and cooked a damn Turkey. I brined it and everything, but for the week leading up to the Holiday I had nightmares about undercooking it and giving my entire family food poisoning.
So this year I’m thinking about doing an entirely vegetarian holiday. Most of my friends are vegetarian, but not all of them. What do you think? Is it the same without a Turkey? and do you have any good recipes to share?
