Recipe: Tofu Turkey & fixin's
Turkey:
5 pounds of firm tofu
Stuffing:
2 tbsp oil
1 large onion
1 cup celery, diced
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp marjoram
2 tsp thyme
3 tsp Herb de Provence
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
2 cups bread crumbs
1 cup wild cooked wild rice
salt and pepper to taste
Basting mixture:
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
1/4 to 1/3 cup soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons miso
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
Mash tofu together in a bowl. Line a Colander with cheese cloth and dump tofu in. Use a plate to press out the excess water from tofu. leave a heavy weight on the plate for an hour or two to drain as much water as possible (preferably in the fridge). take colander full of tofu and hollow out a place for stuffing. In a sauce pan fry up the garlic, onion, and celery. when they are sufficiently brown mix in the rest of the ingredients for the stuffing thouroughly and dump it into the hole that you have made in the tofu. pack it tighly and flip onto a baking sheet. Cover the tofu turkey with the basting sauce and bake at 375 for an hour or so until it is golden brown. Enjoy!
