Tofurkey Roast

May7

Recently I bought a Tofurkey roast + gravy box.  You can usually find them either in the freezer section next to the veggie meats or sometimes in the “dairy” area next to the other Tofurkey deli slices and Veggie Shreds cheese (it depends on what store you go to).  There are directions on the box of what temperature to cook the roast at in the oven and for how long and how to prepare the veggies for the side.  I’ll warn you, it takes a long time to cook; cooking time is about 1 and a half hours.  The box says to cut up 2 large brown potatoes, 1 medium onion and 2 carrot sticks and to place them around the Tofurkey roast.  I cut 5 small red potoatoes in half, 1/2 a white onion (although I wish I put more in now), 6 mini carrots halved (thin ways) and added asparagus towards the end of the cooking time.  You are to cover said ingredients with a marinate consisting of olive oil, herbs and soy sauce.  The recipe doesn’t make very much and they want you to 1/2 it and pour some on before cooking and the rest on once you uncover it and cook it for the last 15 minutes.  I used the whole darn amount of marinade, covered it with foil and cooked it for the first cook time.  When I uncovered it, I added the asparagus and then covered it with a 1/2 recipe of marinade so in total, I used 1.5 recipes of marinade.

The roast is stuffed with brown rice stuffing and is served along side a mushroom “gravy” that you cut out of a bag and heat on the stove top.  The gravy only takes 10 minutes or so.

This meal is really, really good and I can’t wait to eat it come Thanksgiving time!
