If you’re sitting down to celebrate with your family this year, chances are turkey is on the menu. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving dinner can pose some pretty obvious problems for the 7.3 million Americans who call themselves vegetarian for ethical, environmental, or health reasons.

But Turkey Day need not be a time of mourning for herbivores. Plant-based options have exploded in recent years, which means that a meat-free menu is easier — not to mention more delicious — than ever.

This Thanksgiving, check out these five popular (and satisfying) plant-based turkey alternatives.

Field Roast Celebration Roast

Now available as a two-pound roast, the Field Roast Celebration Roast has long been a go-to option for vegetarians over the holidays. Seasoned with sage, lemon juice, and garlic, both the taste and the texture are beyond incredible. Fixings include tried-and-true bread stuffing made from butternut squash, celery, and onions, and to-die-for shiitake and porcini gravy. The boxed dinner can serve up to eight. If you want to try something different, they’ve also got a Hazelnut Cranberry Roast En Croute and a Smokey Forager’s Roast.

Vegetarian Plus Whole Vegan Turkey

You have to hand it to Vegetarian Plus for this one — it’s about as realistic-looking as faux turkeys get, drumsticks and all. Weighing in at four pounds, this non-GMO soy and wheat protein option can feed a crowd. It nabs extra points for its stringy, turkey-like texture.

Gardein Savory Stuffed Turk’y

Gardein’s individually portioned turkey “rolls” stand out as a gourmet option. Even real turkey pales in comparison. You’ll taste the difference, and maybe even convert a few carnivores. With its flavorful natural ingredients — wheat, soy, beets, carrots, and peas—and hearty texture, it’s almost a shame to call this a “meat” alternative. It’s more like a mouth-watering vegetarian dish in its own right.

Tofurky Vegetarian Feast

Tofurky is the butt of pretty much every other plant-based diet joke, making it one of the most well-known meat-free turkey substitutes out there. If you’re looking for a hassle-free substitute, this is it—everything is pre-cooked and only needs to be heated up. The Holiday Roast is a rich wheat-gluten and tofu blend stuffed with wild rice and whole wheat bread crumbs. The way it carves, you’d swear it was turkey. Also included: a savory, herb-and-spice gravy, Jurky Wishstix, and a shareable vegan fudge brownie. Did we mention it feeds six?
