The president traditionally pardons a turkey every year, but that compassionate act doesn’t have to be limited to the chief executive. Anyone can spare a turkey’s life by opting for a meatless Thanksgiving feast.
And luckily, it doesn’t have to involve a day of sweating in the kitchen. Plenty of eateries in South Florida are offering vegan Thanksgiving dinner or to-go options.
Here’s what’s available for this week’s feast:
