Vegetarian Turkey for Thanksgiving?

Rate this topic

Hi.

 

I apologize if my question is redundant. I just joined the list.

 

I am having a Vegetarian Thanksgiving at my house called Grateful

Girl Thanksgiving. I want to try/make a tofu turkey.

 

I have a recipe that starts with 5 lbs of tofu and gets all ground up

like a " meat " loaf.

 

Anyone else know where I can buy a Tofu (or gluten/seitan) Turkey?

 

Anyone have a recipe they swear by?

 

Thanks.

 

Allison

 

ps, if anyone is in need of a group of people to spend the holidays

with, feel free to email me.

5 pounds of tofu scares me. :-) However, I just found a similar recipe on

vegweb.com and there are positive comments:

There are two different premade " turkeys " - one is called a " Tofurky " and

one is the " UnTurkey " . They each have their pluses and minuses, and their

fans and detractors. You can pick them up at local health food stores,

Whole Foods, and sometimes Trader Joe's carries them.

 

There's an interesting recipe from Veggie Life magazine that basically

makes a pastry dough and lays it on top of some strategically shaped rice

mounds to form a " chicken " . It looks very realistic. You can pick it up in

the special " Holidays " edition of Veggie Life which should still be on

stands - there's a photo of it in there too. My (omni) husband won't let

me make it, because it's " too real looking " . I think that trip to Farm

Sanctuary is sinking in... :-)

HAVING BEEN A VEGETARIAN MY ENTIRE LIFE (62 YEARS), AND A VEGAN MOST OF

THAT TIME, I DO NOT DESIRE TO EAT FAKE MEAT WHICH LOOKS AND TASTES LIKE

REAL DEAD ANIMAL BODY PARTS. I LOVE TOFU, VEGIES, FRUITS AND OTHER

NON-DEAD ANIMAL BODY PARTS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. I'LL BET IF I EVER

ATE SOMETHING THAT LOOKED OR TASTED LIKE ANIMAL CORPSES, I WOULD

LITERALLY THROW-UP. ONE OF THE MANY REASONS I DON'T AND WON'T EAT DEAD

ANIMAL BODY PARTS IS THE SAME REASON I DON'T EAT AT THE CORONERS OFFICE

OR LICK OFF OF THE AUTOPSY TABLE, OR STEAL " FOOD " FROM A MORTUARY, OR A

GRAVEYARD, BECAUSE EATING ANY DEAD ANIMAL CARCASSES, TWO LEGGED OR FOUR

LEGGED, IS A DISGUSTING THING TO DO.

I AM SORRY FOR BEING SO GRAPHIC BUT TORTURING ANIMALS TO DEATH TO EAT

THEM IS A VERY GRAPHIC EVENT, AND WORSE. AFTER ALL, IF A FRIEND WERE

ABOUT TO EAT A SANDWICH THAT SOMEONE HAD DEFECATED IN, WOULDN'T YOU

WARN THEM IN THE MOST HONEST AND GRAPHIC WAY POSSIBLE. NOT THE SAME, I

HEARD SOMEONE SAY. I CAN ASSURE YOU IT IS, AS I HAVE VIDEO TAPE FROM

20/20, 60 MINUTES, AND DATELINE SHOWING THIS AND MORE.

YOU CAN BE SURE MY THANKSGIVING DINNER WON'T BE SHAPED OR TASTE LIKE A

TURKEY.
