no need to show up to thanksgiving without a center piece, right?
this "turkey" style roulade has a wonderful texture and taste. served with some creamy smashed potatoes and stuffed with an herbed stuffing, this also makes for wonderful hot sandwiches the next day.
vegan “turkey” style roulade
serves
6-8
dry ingredients:
1 cup vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4 cup. nutritional yeast
1 tsp. onion salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
wet ingredients:
1 package firm tofu
¾ cup water
2 tbsp. soy sauce
½ tbsp olive oil
1 cup veggie broth
2 cups grandpa earls stuffing
heat your oven to 250 degrees.
in a blender, combine your wet
ingredients. in a separate bowl,
combine your dry ingredients.
in a larger mixing bowl combine the wet with
the dry. knead together a ball for approximately 10-12 minutes. split the ball in ½ and make 2
rolls. flatten each roll out as
much as possible without tearing. add
to each flattened roll, 1 cup of stuffing. roll up the flattened ball into a large log with the
stuffing running throughout the middle (like a pinwheel). seal the gluten and be sure there are
no holes.
place the logs onto a greased baking
sheet. cover with a little broth, just
enough so that they are both moist.
cover with foil and bake for 2 ½ hours. turn over after 2 ½ hours and cook for another 30-40 minutes
covering with broth again.
once they are cooked and slightly browned,
remove and let sit 15-20 minutes before slicing.
serve with your favorite sides and a glass of
red wine.
enjoy!
it may be that you need to knead it quite a bit...best of luck Mi!

Hi. I don't know what I did wrong, but I had to keep adding VWG to get a workable dough. Otherwise, it's looking really good and we love Grandpa Earl's stuffing!
