Yeah. I'm currently not *100%* meat-free--I eat enough poultry to keep my digestive enzymes going and my options open, I eat salmon when I can afford it--but you may notice I mentioned a "token bite" of turkey.
(*Even if you completely ignore animal welfare*, the public-health issues *alone* are increasingly concerning.)
((I tend to be very confused as to whether or not I terminally value other entities' welfare, and deal with it by throwing up my hands and going "fuck it, I can think of plenty of perfectly good self-interested reasons to take the pro-other-entities'-welfare actions, I don't *need* to figure out whether I also care about them per se".))
One year the turkey was rotten and we had to use eggs as the main protein of the feast. Mom was very upset, and it *is* a shame that the turkey went to waste, but I thought the eggs worked out great. When the torch of arranging Thanksgiving feasts passes to me, I think I'll do eggs on purpose, maybe with the help of turkey-shaped cookie cutters.
