Tofurkey Totally Explained

Everything about Tofurkey totally explained

Tofurkey (a portmanteau of tofu and turkey) is faux turkey – a loaf or casserole of vegetarian protein, usually made from seitan (wheat protein) or tofu (soybean protein) with a stuffing made from grain(s) and/or bread flavored with a broth and seasoned with herbs and spices. Tofurkey is oven roasted or baked. Tofurkey can serve as the main dish of a formal meal for people who abstain from or would like to abstain from eating meat. It has become popular as a vegetarian meat alternative served at Thanksgiving (USA and Canada), Harvest festivals, and other winter holidays. Tofurkey can be homemade or purchased pre-made and frozen from multiple sources.
