Tofu turkey
Ingredients
1. Tofu Turkey:
•3 blocks firm tofu
•¼ cup poultry seasoning*
•1 tbsp salt
•1 tsp black pepper
•Pinch of hing
2. Homemade Stuffing:
•3 slices whole wheat bread
•2 celery sticks, finely chopped
•1 tbsp poultry seasoning*
•2 tbsp butter
•2 tbsp water
3. Marinated Sauce
•¼ cup balsamic vinegar
•4 tbsp poultry seasoning*
•2 tsp salt
•½ tsp hing
•2 tbsp Dijon mustard
•2 tbsp orange juice
*Poultry seasoning:
1 tsp hing
4 tbsp dried parsley
4 tbsp sage
2 tbsp rosemary
2 tbsp marjoram
2 tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Preparation
Step 1:
Mix well tofu and the seasoning in the blender. Cover the mixture in a piece of cheesecloth and a colander over night in the refrigerator. You may use any means to squeeze out the liquid (e.g., I use a plate and a can of beans on top of the cheesecloth). You also need a big plate or bowl to catch the liquid.
Step 2:
Toast bread and cut into small pieces. Add poultry seasoning. Cook celery with butter for a few minutes then add water. Mix bread cubes and celery mix. Meanwhile, mix all ingredients to make marinated sauce for tofu turkey.
Step 3:
Shape the mixture into a ball. Scoop out about 2 cups of the mixture to add the stuffing. Then put the 2 cups of mixture on top of your tofu turkey. Brush tofu turkey well with marinated sauce and bake it in a pre-buttered baking sheet at 350F for at least 90 minutes. You need to brush tofu turkey every 20 minutes or so.
