Vegetarian Turkey?!?!?! aka tofu recipes?

Ok this is my first holiday season being a vegetarian and i obviously i need some recipes lol mainly a turkey recipe and by turkey i mean some type of substitute for turkey like tofu or whatever





- so if anyone has any vegetarian turkey recipes for me, that would be wicked thanks so much in advancedVegetarian Turkey?!?!?! aka tofu recipes?
I am sure lots of people have great recipes for tofurkey, etc. If you research back in Yahoo Answers, you will find many of them over the past few weeks. I have not made any of them. But one thing I do make ever year is Mushroom Gravy (recipe below), and a pot of vegetarian stuffing. Then I can usually eat the rest of the items on the table - mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls, etc. The only thing I can't eat is the turkey. This gravy is delicious! Sometimes I also make a vegetable pot pie. This year I'm making Onion and Mushroom marmalade tartlets.





Here is the gravy recipe:


Mushroom Rosemary Gravy








6 Tbsp flour


7 Tbsp olive oil


1/4 cup onion, diced


1/4 cup carrot, diced


1/4 cup celery, diced


2 tsp dried rosemary


1 tsp dried thyme


1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced


3 cups vegetable stock


2 Tbsp soy sauce


1/2 tsp honey


salt and pepper to taste








1. Saut茅 mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil until browned and liquid is evaporated. Set aside.


2. Make a roux by heating 6 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet at medium/high heat. Add 6 tablespoons of flour, one at a time, stirring constantly. Cook 5 to 7 minutes until flour is lightly browned.


3. Add onion, carrots, celery, and dried spices to roux. Lower heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.


4. Slowly stir in the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, blending as you go. Add soy sauce, honey, and mushrooms. Stir and cook for 15 minutes over medium/low heat until sauce is thickened.

Mushroom and Onion Marmalade Tartlets





2 Tablespoons olive oil


1 large onion, chopped finely


1 陆 cups finely chopped or sliced mushrooms


1 Tablespoon sugar


Leaves from 2-3 sprigs of thyme


12 slices medium-sliced white bread


Unsalted butter, for spreading


2 陆 cups grated Gruyere or mature Cheddar cheese


Kosher salt or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper








You will need a 2-inch glass or plain cookie cutter


2 nonstick, 12-cup bun pand or shallow muffin pans








Heat the olive oil in a skillet, and add the onions, and saut茅 until softened and lightly golden. Sprinkle the sugar on top and season with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook over a high heat until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes





Using the top of the glass or cookie cutter, stamp out circles from the bread. (The glass flattens the bread at the edges, which will make the tartlets crisper.) Lightly spread butter on one side of each circle, then use to line the pan, butter side down, and press firmly into place.





Put teaspoonfuls of the mushroom mixture in the bread cops and top with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 425掳F for about 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve hot. Alternatively, let cool, then warm through before serving.





Vegetarian Turkey?!?!?! aka tofu recipes?
Make first a broth of something like: Ingredients





* Water (enough to cover turkey)


* honey (go liberal on this!)


* Seasoning salt


* Olive oil (little)


* garlic powder (liberal)


* 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and quartered


* 2 celery


* 2 carrots


* Parsley


* rosemary, thyme


(I cant tell you measures because I dont know how much tofurky you are using)





but TASTE your broth before you cover your veggie meat with it please!





Then





Place the thawed tofurky in the oven to get a little heat....then take the broth and pour it over the turkey and put it in the oven for like 45 minutes to an hour on 350....Make sure the broth is covering the tofurky completely so it can absorb the taste of the broth...





Then take out and let it room temp.





Place in fridge over night (since veggie meat isnt just ';done)





Then in the morning, place back in oven with broth still on it until well heated.





Drain broth if you want or leave it on....but serve up the tofurky....





ps. You can get a role of Veggie Turkey at any Adventist Book Center in your area around this time. They sale it as a big role, so your whole family can enjoy it....it is tough like turkey once you bake it, and it takes on a really good taste when you make holes in it and put the broth on it and let it simmer....
i hate to tell you this, but once i had a tofu burger and it SUCKED.


sorry!


here's what you can have for thanksgivig.


roasted potatoes, pasta, and a cesar salad. that's a balanced and yummy meal!!!

SIMPLE PERFECT ROAST TURKEY





INGREDIENTS


1 (18 pound) whole turkey


1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened


salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


1 1/2 quarts turkey stock


8 cups prepared stuffing


DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest position of the oven.


Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over the turkey.


Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 4 hours.


Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
wash the turkey with veniger and leaf to drain,afterwards cut straigth lines on the bird and rub in the peast of spaice you have.but make sue that there is either onions or garlic in the peast of spaice and leaf to absolve it in then add vegitable oli to it and then steam for about 30 to 40 mins.
Grab a large tub of butter and a spatula, coat turkey with butter with 1/2 of the tub. Depending on how large your turkey is you will need to add water to the pan. Smallest turkey at least 2 cups to start. after turkey is coated with butter sprinkle poultry seasoning allover. Pre-heat oven 350. If you start your turkey at 9 am it should be done by 1-2 pm. You'll want to baste your turkey and hour after you put it in the oven and constantly every half hour to 45 min's after that adding butter to turkey every time. You should come out with a deliciously moist golden Turkey.
Easiest way I have eaver done it is to butter the skin, sprinkle with oultry seasoning.





Pop it in a pre-heated 500 degree oven before going to bed, turn the oven off once you pop it in and go to bed and forget about it.





Perfect the next morning.

Does anyone have a recipe for a meatless turkey?

I don't want the toturkey thing. I want to make one.Does anyone have a recipe for a meatless turkey?
This is my own personal recipe. It's delicious.:





http://www.grouprecipes.com/29239/best-s… :)Does anyone have a recipe for a meatless turkey?
I would stay away from the tofu thing..yeak...Im not a vegan but I have tried getting tofu into my diet...its very hard. There are veggie alternatives like veggie burgers and turkey slices that are actually veggie. Hard to find though apart from the veggie burgers..those are pretty popular and pretty good. Why not make some patties with a nice sauce over them or something like that would be a nice alternative.

hope those help. apparently chickpea powder and soy make a tasty turkey.
Toturkey?


Its tofurky and it doesn't even have tofu in it, or only a little. It is just a fake meat like the rest, it is not made from nothing but tofu, I guess the name gives it a bad disposition. I have never heard of a way to make your own tho.
Just eat an apple, don't try to imitate meat, if you're making it for vegetarians they will probably think it looks like meat, therefore sickening, if not, then it will just taste plasticy and artificial. Apples are nice =)

We love comfort foods that can be nibbled on later in the day after the big, main meal is over..things like Homemade macaroni and cheese which I like to make with different kind of cheeses other than Cheddar, Homemade noodles which are perfect for turkey and noodles the next day, and half corn-on-the-cobs.

Recipes with ground turkey?

I am so hungry and all I have meat-wise in my fridge is ground turkey. So any good recipes? Thank you. :)Recipes with ground turkey?
My sis-in-law takes the ground turkey and places it in a single layer in a cake pan and bakes it. She drains it, cools it, and cuts it into squares (small ones). Then she makes a salad with kidney beans, avocadoes, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and Catalina salad dressing. She pours a little on the salad, mixes it up, and puts it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. When it's time to serve, she serves it with the purple tortilla chips (you can use Doritos or any tortilla chip) and shows the company to crumble the chips in the bowl first, and then add the salad and give it a stir. She serves extra Catalina (sometimes she uses French Dressing also), on the side.

KEFTA (MOROCCAN MEATBALL STEW)





For the meatballs:


1 lb. ground lamb [turkey is even better!]


2 tbsp chopped parsley


1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander


1/2 tsp ground cumin


1/2 onion, peeled and finely chopped


1/4 tsp cayenne


salt to taste


2 tbsp olive oil for pan frying





For the sauce:


2 cloves garlic, peeled


2 medium onions, peeled and finely chopped


1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped


1 small bunch of parsley, chopped


2 lbs tomatoes, chopped


1 tsp ground cumin


1 tsp freshly ground black pepper


1/2 tsp ground cinnamon


2 tbsp fresh lemon juice


1/4 tsp cayenne


1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)


Plus 6 eggs (optional)[I like to skip the eggs]





Combine all the ingredients for the Kefta and form into 1 inch balls with wet hands.





Heat a 6- to 8-quart stove-top casserole and add the olive oil. Brown the meatballs in the oil, then remove, leaving the oil in the pot. Set the meatballs aside, covered.





Add the garlic, onion, and bell pepper to the reserved oil and saut茅 until the onion is clear. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and simmer, covered, 30 minutes until the sauce has cooked down to a thick gravy.





Return the meatballs to the sauce and simmer uncovered 10 minutes more. Carefully break the eggs into the sauce and poach for a few minutes (don't overcook the eggs.) Serve at once directly with the pan.
if you are hungry right now, the fastest thing you can do are burgers! Use the turkey meat in the same way you would use the regular ground beef. The Burger will be lower fat as well:) You can add some Worchester sauce or soy sauce for flavor


Or you can do chili, or shepard pie, or use it in a bolognese sauce, or do meatballs.... but I guess you don't have much time right now :)
I made cabbage rolls with ground turkey last night. The recipe is in the Betty Crocker cook book - also all over online............I just used ground turkey instead of ground beef - came out perfect.
Use your ground turkey in any way that you would use ground beef.

Gravy that does not use turkey drippings recipe?

I am makig a gravy for a party but i am not making the turkey...does anyone have agreat recipe that doesnt use turkey drippings and is very easy and tastes good...thanksGravy that does not use turkey drippings recipe?
Hope this helps.





Savory Turkey Gravy





INGREDIENTS





* 5 cups turkey stock


* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour


* 1 cup water


* 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning


* 1 teaspoon salt


* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


* 1/4 teaspoon celery salt





DIRECTIONS





1. In a medium saucepan, bring the turkey stock to a boil. In a small bowl, dissolve flour in water. Gradually whisk into the turkey stock. Season with poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and celery salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until thickened.


Gravy that does not use turkey drippings recipe?
LIGHTNING GRAVY





1 1/2 tablespoons beef, chicken, or pork soup base


1 tablespoon fresh or 1/2 as much dry parsley


1/4 teaspoon black pepper


2 tablespoons Wondra flour


1-2 tablespoons butter


1/2 tablespoon olive oil (or meat drippings)


1/2 teaspoon onion powder (or onion soup mix)


1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced garlic)


1 1/2 cups cold broth or water


1/4 onion, thinly sliced or minced





This is a casual, quick, gravy to help dress up weekday meals. Use it when you don't have the makings for gravy, or to top mashed potatoes or rice, or even to dress up a store-bought roast chicken.





Feel free to vary quantities as desired. Add more flour for a thicker gravy, or more broth to thin it out. Or try using vegetable broth for a different taste.





Stir all ingredients together in a large pyrex bowl or measuring cup and microwave for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let stand until sauce thickens.





Add a pinch of sage to chicken gravy, or a spoon or so of ketchup to beef gravy or tomato sauce for pork gravy.
WOW talk about a test! No Turkey drippings makes the gravy NOT taste like turkey~ Maybe you can ask the person that is making turkey to save the drippings for you. That way you can compliment the taste of the turkey. Otherwise, if that doesn't work, there are packets of turkey gravy at the store - depending on how much you need to make I would buy a few and try that. When I have used the packets I try to use chicken or turkey broth/stock if I can, to enhance the packet gravy a bit.
MOCK TURKEY GRAVY





录 C. butter or oil


1 C. garbanzo flour (chickpea)


1 tsp. basil


陆 tsp. thyme


陆 tsp. black pepper





3 C. water





录 C. soy sauce


2 tsp. lemon juice


2-3 Tbsp. nutritional yeast





1. Combine first five ingredients, stirring constantly over medium-high flame until lightly toasted. You may have to mash it with the backside of the spoon.


2. When toasted, gradually add water, whisk constantly to prevent lumping.


3. When blended, add last ingredients and mix well.





Yield: 1 quart



Yes, got one for you





2 Tablespoons butter


2 Tablespoons flour


1 C turkey broth/stock from the store (if you can't find turkey use chicken it will work just as well.)





This will make 1 C of gravy. Just increase the ingredients to make additional cups of gravy.





Melt butter in sauce pan, add the flour and stir well cookiing for 2 to 3 minutes (this is a roux). Remove from heat and add the canned broth, stirring well as you add it. Return to medium heat and cook until begins to thicken. The gravy will thicken more as it sits. One way to transport it would be to put it in a good sealing thermos jug, it will remain hot. If you need to reheat just add a bit more broth and heat on low until liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you are taking it to the home where the turkey was cooked you could add turkey drippiing after you arrive and are reheating the gravy. Have a happy thanksgiving.





PS this is the way to make any gravy or white sauce. It is almost foolproof and lump proof. Use milk instead of broth for the white sauce.
Buy good concentrated stock cubes(beef surprisingly) add to pan in which you have slowly softened some finely chopped onion or shallot's and garlic cloves if desired. Bring to gentle boil with some red wine added.The heat will drive off the alcohol content.


Have a great meal!


nigwith
Just melt a few tablespoons of butter in a saucepan with the same amount of flour and cook for one minute then whisk in some turkey stock or chicken stock until it thickens. Easiest way to do it and it tastes great =]
use chicken broth or cream of mushroom,cream of chicken soup.

Recipe for a moist turkey burger?

I used to be on Jenny Craig, and they had a delicious turkey burger. It had onions and green peppers in it, but I'm not sure what else. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any good turkey burger recipes? Or if anyone knows the recipe for the Jenny Craig turkey burger that would be awesome, too! Thanks.Recipe for a moist turkey burger?
Olympic Rainforest Turkey Burgers





1 pound of Ground Turkey, white pepper, chopped green onion, green pepper, 1 tsp. seasoned salt like Lowry's, 3/4 cup plain yogurt, T. of Lea and Perrins Chicken sauce (white Worsteshire). Mix everything together except the seasoned salt. Season the formed patties with the seasoning salt. Grill, over apple wood, fry or broil.Recipe for a moist turkey burger?
I recently saw this on the Rachel Ray Show, and made it the same night.


What she did was take your turkey burger and mix in a bit of spicy mustard, (ketchup will work too) and what ever spices you usually use to patty burgers. Patty the burgers, but leave a pit in the middle. Cut turkey bacon into pieces and along with some shredded cheddar cheese, fill the pit. Cover the pit with extra turkey burger and form.


In a frying pan, cook with some EVOO, about 8 minutes on each side.


Serve on a bed of lettuce, with tomato. She topped hers with pickel slices and onion rings, I used french fries. And eat with a fork.


Easy to make, and very delicious.
Do you have Jenny-O products? They make a tube of the ground turkey that is perfect for burgers. Stay away from the ';lean'; packages like Shady Brook Farm.
