Meat substitute in the form of a loaf or casserole of vegetarian protein


Tofurkey (a portmanteau of tofu and turkey) is a plant-based meat substitute patterned after turkey, in the form of a loaf of vegetarian protein, usually made from tofu (soybean protein) or seitan (wheat protein) with a stuffing made from grains or bread, flavored with a broth and seasoned with herbs and spices.[1][2] It is often served at a vegetarian or vegan Thanksgiving meal.[3]
