Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Stuffing of choice (optional; ensure it is gluten-free and vegan)
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove as much moisture as possible. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel, place a heavy object on top, and let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Break the pressed tofu into large chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse until it reaches a smooth and uniform texture, similar to a thick paste.
Transfer the tofu paste to a large mixing bowl. Add nutritional yeast, tamari, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and vegetable broth. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Stir in the gluten-free breadcrumbs to form a slightly firm mixture. If it feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time.
On a large piece of parchment paper, shape the tofu mixture into a rectangular loaf or oval shape, about 2-3 inches thick. If using stuffing, flatten the tofu mixture into a rectangle, place the stuffing in the center, and carefully fold the edges over the stuffing to encase it.
Wrap the parchment paper tightly around the tofu loaf, twisting the ends to seal. Place the wrapped loaf in the greased baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven, unwrap the tofu roast, and return it to the oven uncovered to bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
Let the tofu turkey roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite vegan gravy and holiday sides. Enjoy!
