I'm a vegetarian, but tofu is not my preferred source of protein. It's OK, but I don't love it. So I was reluctant to jump for joy at the prospect of a tofu-based turkey substitute. Let me also add that I don't particularly care for meat substitutes, products that try to imitate meat in taste and texture. So I was skeptical. But we followed the instructions and prepared our Tofurky.
It was delicious!
They got it right... the texture is firm but not chewy or dry. The stuffing inside is perfectly seasoned. The flavor is very pleasing, certainly the right compliment to all the holiday favorites we all know and love. They also provide a "mushroom gravy" which is quite tasty as well.
This year we served Tofurky again, this time with a fabulous dried cherry balsamic glaze, and it was pure bliss. With it I served a wild rice casserole, sweet potatoes baked with apples, cauliflower, a tossed salad and rolls.
Leftover are gone and sadly, I contemplate the unfortunate fact that Tofurky won't be in the stores much longer, until the next holiday season rolls around. I may need to zip out to the store and pick up another roast while I can!
MMmmmmmmm.... Tofurky!
