While adults will often wait for the big meal to be prepared on Thanksgiving and may even hold off on eating until then, children will need something to eat when they wake up. So are you looking for a quick and easy Thanksgiving breakfast idea that we leave your kids with a smile on their faces? Look no further than these yummy turkey pancakes! The cool thing about these turkey pancakes can be made as a vegan option (check out my vegan applesauce muffins for another vegan treat) or a non-vegan option (my blueberry muffins are also delicious). They’re great because they provide a hearty breakfast option for your family that will hopefully keep them out of the kitchen as you prepare for the main dishes for Thanksgiving.

Creating these Turkey Pancakes is Easy as 1, 2, 3!
