WanderFood Wednesday: Tofurky and Trimmings
Bringing Tofurky to Thanksgiving dinner this year was a last minute decision and a bit of a joke, really, as some of the friends with whom we were dining are the biggest meat eaters we know. But, believe it or not, even these meat eaters liked my version of this not so traditional meal.
What made it more than just palatable was the marinade that it soaked in for about 6 hours prior to cooking. I used a mixture of soy sauce, maple syrup and garlic, and then mixed it with ground star anise, pepper and cinnamon.
While there was indeed turkey, I stuck to the veggies including this beautiful dish of roasted squash and mushrooms…
...stuffing…
... roasted Brussel sprouts…
... and vino.

Danged if that Tofurkey doesn’t look every bit as tasty as a real turkey! Yum… happy belated Thanksgiving, everyone!
Although I’m not a vegetarian, I’m glad that several extended family members are – they always bring the best vegetable dishes! Even though I dislike brussel sprouts, I have a sneaky feeling that I’d become a little obsessed with the lovely roasted ones here
The squash looks delicious, and even though I, like Margo, don’t like brussel sprouts, I think I’d love those ones! They look amazing!
delicious!! i LOVE it all.
MMMMM Brussel sprouts! No one in my family will eat them except me, so I really look forward to enjoying them at Thanksgiving.
Oooh…stuffing. My favorite Thanksgiving dish (besides dessert)!
Thanks for the invite to participate—it is fun to travel with tastes from all over! enjoying the other posts and hope you enjoy your “taste” from Italy!
We had a brussels sprouts dish very similar to yours! And your tofurkey looks delicious!
Yum! Of course, I’m a veg too but I gotta say – that looks mouth-wateringly delish!
Thank you, very useful. I wasnt actually a big fan of Spinach for many years (ok, that’s a total understatement, I hated the stuff), but after shacking up with a vegetarian I kind of had to get used to it, and have gradually come to absolutely love the stuff. Spinach curry is undoubtedly my absolute favourite! I recently found an entire spinach recipes website which is my new favourite site now, you should have a look!
