" This is an incredibly delicious and guilt-free alternative to

the traditional bird, and I make it every holiday. I've even tried

this out on meat eaters, and they were asking for seconds! The

directions may seem a bit daunting at first glance, but don't worry!!

It is much, much easier than it appears and the actual preparation

time you spend in the kitchen is under fifteen minutes. "

 

 

Ingredients

1 pound firm tofu

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram

1/4 teaspoon dried savory

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 (12 ounce) package dry bread stuffing mix

2/3 cup water

1/4 cup soy margarine

1 slice bread, cubed

1/2 teaspoon sage

2 tablespoons water

5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

 

1 teaspoon barbeque sauce

1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard

1 tablespoon orange jam

1 teaspoon orange juice

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

 

 

Directions

 

1 Drain and rinse tofu; in a food processor or blender, process tofu

until smooth. Stir in salt, marjoram, savory and pepper. Line a sieve

with 2 sheets of paper towel and place over an empty bowl. Place tofu

in lined sieve and press against sides to form a deep well in the

middle. Place 2 more sheets of paper towel over tofu and refrigerate

for 2 hours.

2 Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat combine

stuffing mix, 2/3 cup water and margarine. Bring to a boil; reduce

heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let

stand 5 minutes and fluff with a fork. To the stuffing add bread

cubes, sage and 2 tablespoons water.

3 After tofu has chilled for 2 hours, preheat oven to 350 degrees F

(175 degrees C). With 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, grease a

baking sheet.

4 Remove the top layer of paper towels from the tofu. If necessary,

again press tofu against the sides of the sieve to form a well. Spoon

the stuffing mixture into the well and smooth the surface with a

spoon. Invert the tofu mold onto prepared baking sheet. Remove the

remaining paper towel layer and shape the tofu with your hands if it

has cracked or lost its shape.

5 Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

6 Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by combining barbecue sauce, mustard,

orange jam, orange juice, sesame seeds and remaining 3 tablespoons

oil. After tofu has baked for 30 minutes, brush or spoon the glaze

over it. Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes more.

7 Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tofu is browned and crispy.
