Vegetarian Recipe – Vegan Recipe

According to the Turtle Island Foods of Hood River, Oregon (the manufacturers of Tofurky), the product is a 100% vegan roast made out of tofu and vital wheat gluten which is combined with seasonings which is precooked. The tofurky roast is roughly the size of a small ham or turkey loaf. Just like you would cook a turkey, you put it in a roasting pan with the basting of your choice for moisture and flavor. I slightly adapted and added to the cooking instructions available on the tofurky box.

-
Thaw frozen Tofurky Roast in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours prior to cooking. NOTE: Unopened Tofurky Roast can be kept refrigerated for 30 days.
-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
-
When Tofurky is thawed and you are ready to cook, carefully remove plastic casing using sharp scissor or sharp knife. Remove roast from plastic casing.
-
Place roast either in a tightly covered casserole dish, or wrap with aluminum foil with the desired prepared vegetables.
-
You can use organic vegetable or mushroom broth/stock for basting. Some other ideas/options for basting liquid below (be creative):
-
Thoroughly cover the torfuky roast and vegetables with 1/2 of the basting liquid, of your choice. Either cover your casserole dish with a lid or wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
-
Bake approximately 2 hours or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of at least 120 degrees F. During the baking time, I recommend that you baste every 30 minutes to keep the roast moist. Remove from oven.
-
To serve, slice the Tofuky roast into 1/4-inch slices using a serrated bread knife. Serve with prepared vegetables and Vegan Gravy.
Add as many vegetable as you desire. Be creative and add different types of vegetables.
I get many readers asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer. Originally designed for professional use, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. I only endorse a few products, on my web site, that I like and that I use regularly.
