Tofu Turkey

 

Ingredients:

5 pounds extra firm tofu, crumbled

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 red onion, finely chopped

1 1/3 cups diced celery

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/8 cup dried sage

2 teaspoons dried thyme

salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary

1/4 cup tamari

3 cups prepared herb stuffing

 

1/2 cup sesame oil

1/4 cup tamari

2 tablespoons miso

5 tablespoons orange juice

1 teaspoon honey mustard

1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

3 sprigs fresh rosemary

 

 

 

Directions:

1 Line a medium sized, round colander with a cheese

cloth or a clean dish towel. Place the crumbled tofu

in the colander. Place another cheese cloth over the

top of the tofu. Place the colander over the top of a

bowl to catch the liquid. Place a heavy weight on

top of tofu. Refrigerate the colander, tofu and weight

for 2 to 3 hours.

 

2 Make the stuffing: In a large frying pan saute

onion, celery and mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of the

sesame oil until tender. Add the garlic, sage, thyme,

salt and pepper, rosemary and 1/4 cup of the

tamari. Stir well; cook for 5 minutes. Add prepared

herb stuffing and mix well. Remove from heat.

 

3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Grease a cookie sheet.

 

4 Combine 1/2 cup sesame oil, 1/4 cup tamari, miso,

orange juice, mustard and orange zest in a small bowl;

mix well.

 

5 Remove the weight from the tofu. Hollow out the

tofu so that there is one inch of tofu still lining

the colander. Place the scooped out tofu in a separate

bowl. Brush the tofu lining with a small amount of the

miso seasoning. Scoop the stuffing into the center of

the tofu shell. Place the leftover tofu on top of the

stuffing and press down firmly. Turn the stuffed tofu

onto the prepared cookie sheet. Putting the leftover

tofu side of the " turkey " (the flat side) down. Gently

press on the sides of the " turkey " to form a more oval

shape. Brush the tofu turkey with 1/2 of the oil-

tamari mixture. Place the sprigs of rosemary on top of

the tofu. Cover the " turkey " with foil.

 

6 Bake for one hour. After one hour, remove " turkey "

from the oven and remove the foil. Baste the " turkey "

with the remaining tamari-oil sauce (reserving 4

tablespoons of sauce). Return " turkey " to oven and

bake another hour or until the tofu turkey is golden

brown. Place the tofu turkey on a serving platter,

brush with the remaining tamari-oil mixture and serve

hot.
