Vegetarian Turkey Recipes

What are some good vegetarian recipes?We Answered:
I make sandwiches for work with Tofurkey (faux turkey deli slices) lettuce, tofurkey, maybe cheese (Cabot Cheese has no animal enzymes or rennet) or avocado, lettuce, and tomato. You can use sliced or wrap bread.Tofu chili is also easy to make, pretty much the same way as regular chili; just substitute tofu for the meat. If you freeze the tofu first, it has sort of a crumbly texture. After thawing it, I like to saute the tofu first before adding the rest of the chili ingredients. I haven't found a recipe that calls for enough chili powder, so you have to season it to your taste. You can freeze this in small serving-size containers, and it travels well. Even my non-veg friends like it.
Good old PBJ and a piece of fruit makes a good lunch when you're in a hurry.
I congratulate you on trying out vegetarian foods. The more you explore your options, the more you learn. That's the way it's been for me, and now I'm almost vegan.Vegetarian 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. Sauté 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 ½ 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 ½ 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 sauté 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°F for about 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve hot. Alternatively, let cool, then warm through before serving.

Wheatmeat with Oyster Mushroom and “Sausage†Stuffing
For the Seitan:
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups wheat gluten flour
¼ cup bread flour
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Wet Ingredients:
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon tomato paste
¼ cup tamari or other soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ¼ cups water
For the stuffing:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, minced
1 celery stalk, minced
6 ounces oyster mushrooms, coarsely chopped
8 ounces cooked vegan sausage, chopped
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried ground sage
½ teaspoon dried savory
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups finely cubed bread
½ cup water
Make the Seitan:
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the tahini, tomato paste, and tamari, stirring to blend. Stir in the oil and water and blend until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined, then knead for a minute.
Place the seitan between two sheets of plastic wrap on a flat work space and stretch it out with your hands, then roll it out with a rolling pin or wine bottle until it is approximately an 11-inch square about 1/3-inch thick. Let it rest while you make the stuffing. (You can place a 9-x13-baking dish on top of it to keep it stretched.
Make the Stuffing:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, cover, and cook for 10 minutes or until soft. Add the mushrooms, vegan sausage, parsley, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook 5 minutes longer, then place in a large bowl. Stir in the bread and mix well. Add as much of the water as needed to moisten the stuffing mixture. Set the stuffing aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
To Assemble:
Use your hands to spread the stuffing evenly and firmly across the surface of the seitan, allowing a 1-inch border all around. Beginning at the edge nearest you, carefully roll up the seitan around the stuffing, using the film wrap it is laying on to help you. Use your fingers to press the edges of the seitan to seal the roast. Discard the film wrap.
Place the rolled seitan, seam side down, on a lightly oiled sheet of aluminum foil and enclose it, crimping the ends to seal the roast in the foil. Carefully place the roast in a 9- x 13- baking dish. Pour in enough water to come about halfway up the sides of the pan. Carefully place in the oven and bake for 90 minutes.
Open up the foil to expose the top of the roast and bake 10 minutes longer to brown. When the surface of the roast is firm and golden brown, remove it from the oven, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Using a serrated knife, cut the roast into 1/2-inch slices and arrange on a platter.
i like both. but i'll let you choose
have a happy thanksgiving :)

Does anyone have any recipes to make vagan/vegetarian turkey from scratch?We Answered:
I made this last year and it was pretty good:http://www.bryannaclarkgrogan.com/page/p…
Just note: Pay attention to what she says about broth powder! I ignored it and ended up with a pretty salty 'turkey'. It was still delicious, so I'm sure it's even better if you read the directions...
