Tofurky ®

A Delicious Vegetarian Feast
Good News For Vegetarians & Turkeys . . .

"Finally, vegetarians have a bona fide holiday centerpiece that is all their own. They don’t have to settle for second best anymore" was how one satisfied customer described it.

Whether you are seeking to offer a meatless option for a portion of your dinner guests or are planning a complete vegetarian feast, Tofurky ® will satisfy and amaze all who try it.

Tofurky-A Delicious Vegetarian Feast

Click here for complete Tofurky cooking instructions.


Tofurky ® is a pre-cooked vegetarian feast designed to be the delicious centerpiece of your holiday or everyday meal.  Made from a revolutionary tofu-wheat protein blend, Tofurky is known for its incredible, turkey-like texture and flavor.   Since it was first marketed in 1995, Tofurky has been America's original and best selling alternative to turkey.  The Vegetarian feast consists of four parts:  one Specially Seasoned Stuffed Tofu Roast, four Hearty Tempeh Drummettes, fourteen ounces of Tofurky "Giblet" Gravy and a set of two WishStixs made from Tofurky Jurky!  Each feast is 100% vegan, cooks in about 40 minutes, serves four and tastes fabulous!

 

Stuffed Tofu Roast

At the center of the Tofurky Feast is the Stuffed Tofu Roast.  The outside of this round roast is made from the tofu-vital wheat gluten mixture that can be carved into thin, delectable slices.  Inside the roast is filled with our own wild rice-bread crumb stuffing.  So simple to prepare, the thawed, Stuffed Roasts are basted once with soy sauce, orange juice and your favorite sweetener, wrapped in tin foil and baked at 350F for 40 minutes.  That's all there is to preparing a vegetarian roast that will amaze and satisfy both the skeptical carnivores and enthusiastic herbivores at your table.

Tempeh Drummettes

Since nobody lives by "white bean" alone, we have included these Tempeh Drummettes for "dark bean" lovers as well!  We weren't limited by the anatomy of an animal here so we decided with Tofurky Vegetarian Feast, everyone (four people) deserves a Drummette!  Made from grated soy Tempeh, wild rice, textured soy protein and cranberries, Drummettes are sculpted into a drumstick shape.  Drummettes bake in 20 minutes or microwave in about 2 and are many people's favorite part of the feast.

Tofurky "Giblet" Gravy ®

This rich brown gravy is the perfect topping for the sliced Tofu Roast and Tempeh Drummettes.  Made with unbleached flour, expeller pressed canola oil, natural flavors, herbs and spices, this gravy is then packed with diced, Tofurky cubes or "Giblets."  This gravy, which is also sold separately, makes an excellent topping for potatoes, rice or other side dishes any time of the year.  It can be heated in a saucepan, microwaved or even boiled in its pouch, there is nothing more to add!

Now with WishStixs! ®

To begin your feast, we have included 2 Tofurky WishStixs in every box of Tofurky!  Made from our new, Tofurky Jurky, these stixs are meant to add a little bit of fun to your meal.  Gather 2 to 4 folks, have everyone take an end, make a wish and pull!  With Tofurky WishStixs, everyone has already won because no animal was sacrificed in the making of this product.

TOFURKY DINNER, TESTIMONIALS

APRIL 8,1999

We tried our first Tofurky for Easter and really enjoyed it. The leftovers are great, too. Thanks for developing a delicious product that lets us keep eating the kinds of foods we have been choosing and still have holiday traditions. I’m glad to learn from your website that you make deli slices; I’ll be looking for those at our Wegman’s store.

Pat H.


April 5, 1999

To whom it may concern: I just wanted to let you know my husband and I tried the Tofurky dinner (Tofurky, Drummettes, and gravy) yesterday for the first time. We loved it and will purchase it again when our natural food store has them restocked (New City Market—Des Moines, Iowa). Thanks for creating a great product!!!

P.S. I became aware of the product through PETA and Vegetarian Times "highlight marketing" approaching last Thanksgiving.

Very satisfied customer


March 27, 1999

Dear Turtle Island:

I have used and enjoyed your products for several years… ever since I spied your organic tofu on the supermarket shelf. I bought the whole tofurky feast for one Thanksgiving and we enjoyed it very much. I’m glad to hear about the new Tofurky slices and will look for them in the deli section. What I am writing about is your gravy. It is heavenly! As far as I can tell there are no good vegetarian gravies available that I have found and enjoyed as much as yours!

Well, we'll be having REAL turkey, with a nice Zinfandel! And we will enjoy it very much, I'm sure. I tried being a vegetarian once, but I missed steak too much...

Well, I admit that I like tofu sometimes. But I am definitely looking forward to the real thing tomorrow.

Next year, I will deep fry one (a turkey, not tofu) for sure. After reading all these recipes for deep-fried turkey, I can't wait to undertake the project and taste it for myself.

SPAM now does turkey too. They should probably mold it into a bird shape and call it "Spamurkey" or "Spurkey"??

Thanks for the appetizing visual, but I will be firing up the Weber smoker with mesquite wood and the drip pan full of water, onions, celery, garlic, and chili pequin peppers. Put turkey on rack, close, and cook till meat thermometer says "done". Yummy!! I eat tofu for lunch sometimes, but hubby grimaces if he even sees it in the fridge...

I saw that Tofurky mess in the frozen food section the other day. I can't believe that people actually created the product, the packaging, or the recipes with straight faces -- especially for $23 bucks a non-bird.

Bean curd should be kept where it belongs -- in chop suey.

I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat pressed formed soy bean curd.

Martha won't be here for Thanksgiving dinner, bummer! Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes: Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. Once inside, our guests will note that the entry hall is not decorated with the swags of Indian corn and fall foliage I had planned to make. Instead, I've gotten the kids involved in the decorating by having them track in colorful autumn leaves from the front yard. The mud was their idea. The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy china, or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas. Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey. We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 a.m. upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying. We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door. Now, I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat. I would like to take this opportunity to remind my young diners that "passing the rolls" is not a football play. Nor is it a request to bean your sister in the head with warm tasty bread. Oh, and one reminder for the adults: For the duration of the meal, and especially while in the presence of young diners, we will refer to the giblet gravy by its lesser-known name: Cheese Sauce. If a young diner questions you regarding the origins or type of Cheese Sauce, plead ignorance. Cheese Sauce stains. Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice; take it or leave it. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. She probably won't come next year either. I am thankful!

I like comic A. Whitney Brown's line: "I'm a vegetarian...not because I love animals -- because I hate plants."

Soy has chemicals in it that mimic the effect of estrogen on the human body.
As a male, I stay away from it.

Actually, I use turkey ham and turkey sausage in my recipes (don't like grease/fat). Both are pretty good. Don't know if I'd like "spurkey" though-I haven't been a big fan of spam, hot dogs, or vienna sausages since one of my cousins worked in a meat packing plant and told me what was in that stuff......

And I thought tofurkey was just an urban legend. What about the vegetable rights people? Do they know how many soy beans were mutilated to make this huh thing?
