Vegan Tofu "Turkey" Roast

Need a roast for the holidays that's delicious and not too hard on the wallet like those $20-$40 vegan roasts you see at Whole foods around the holidays? Of course you do! This is the one and it's perfect for Thanksgiving or any meal where you might wish to have a vegan replacement for Turkey. It has a nice crunchy skin and is full of flavor. It goes great with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Vegan Tofu Turkey Roast



Tofu "Turkey" Roast


Step 1
Salt tofu

Step 2
1 tsp onion granules
1/2 tsp garlic granules
1/4 tsp cumin
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp hickory smoke
2 tsp agave
1/4 c soy sauce or bragg liquid aminos
2 c water

Step 3
1/4 c corn starch
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
Dash of pepper

Step 4
Yuba (bean curd sheets)
Olive oil
Salt
Rosemary

Step 1
Salt tofu and use a fork to poke holes in tofu. The more holes you make, the more the tofu flavor the tofu will absorb. Set aside.

Step 2
Prepare marinade. Mix all ingredients in step 2 add tofu and let marinate overnight or for at least a few hours. It works best if you can marinate overnight or even better if you can let it sit for 3 days.

Step 3
Place step 3 ingredients in a bowl and mix. Roll marinated tofu in the mixture to thinly coat.

Step 4
Wrap tofu in  bean curd skin and cut off excess. Brush skin with olive oil, salt and rosemary and place in oven. Bake at 375 until golden brown. Some of the skin will be crunchy some will stay soft.
