TOFURKY VEGETARIAN FEAST
An industry pioneer, the Tofurky has been a staple for vegetarians everywhere. Their Thanksgiving Roast comes with a bevy of trimmings including Wild Rice Stuffing, Giblet and Mushroom Gravy, and Tofurky Jurky Wishstix – their vegetarian version of wish bones. Wrapped in savory wheat gluten and tofu, the roast is juicy, and great for sandwich leftovers.
FIELD ROAST CELEBRATION ROAST
Field Roast Grain Meat Company makes a full line of faux meat products. Their Celebration Loaf, which looks more like a ham than a turkey, is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The savory wheat-protein loaf is stuffed with a hearty butternut squash, apple and mushroom stuffing, and marinated with a smoky, garlicky finish.

The Tofurky package you show is outdated; i.e., last year the potato dumplings were replaced by Amy’s Dark Chocolate Cake. The cake is scrumptious, the dumplings were an “acquired” taste; but I fear I was prejudiced against them from the start, since they replaced my beloved Tempeh drumstick.
Three comments: First, thanks for listing some of the many meat alternatives out there. It’s never been easier to be vegetarian or vegan. Second, the picture associated with the regular Field Roast (which is described as garlicky and ham-like in texture) is actually the Field Roast with Hazelnut Cranberry Stuffing (with a delicious puff pastry exterior). Nothing garlicky about it. Third, all Quorn products contain egg whites, making them vegetarian, not vegan like the article states. Happy Tofurkey Day!

First, thanks for showing other options for Thanksgiving. Second, the picture associated with the regular Field Roast is actually the Field Roast with Cranberry Hazelnut Stuffing (puff pastry exterior) and doesn’t look like the regular Field Roast (which the author suggests looks like a ham). Third, the Quorn turkey alternative is not vegan, but rather vegetarian. Quorn uses egg whites as a binding agent, therefore their products are not vegan.
Whats the recipe for the dish on the 1st slide?? Looks quite delish!
