Oh, how I love a veg Thanksgiving!!!

In our house we just love Tofurkey! However, finding such a thing in the part of the world where we live, well...not currently possible. After some serious searching, I have developed our own traditional favorite vegetarian Thanksgiving main dish. With this vegan recipe you can have traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings.


VEG FAUX-TURKEY



INGREDIENTS:

2 lb. firm regular tofu, cut into thin slices
1/2 c. tamari sauce (or soy sauce)
1/4 c. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. ground sage
1 t. ground thyme
1/2 t. dry mustard
1/2 t. oregano
1/2 t. rosemary
dash cayenne (optional)

PREPARATION:
  1. Combine the ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Carefully place the tofu slices in a deep pan and cover with the sauce. Let marinate at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Press your favorite stuff into a large oiled baking pan. Cover with tofu slices and drizzle with any remaining marinade. Cover tofu with remaining stuffing. At this point stuffing and tofu can be molded into turkey shape, if desired. (Never felt compelled to do so.)
  4. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 1 hour: uncover for final 15 mins.
  5. Serve with your favorite veg gravy.
