Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 We have Tofurkey every year. If you are a turkey lover you won't appreciate it, but for someone on a plant based diet it's a great thing. I can't describe the taste - it doesn't taste like turkey, but it's good. It comes with dressing and faux drumsticks. Jacquelyn A. Pressly, RD The NON-DIET dietitian Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania ToFurky Has anyone ever had one? How do they taste?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I follow a primarily vegetarian diet and we have been having tofurkey for the last 4 thansgivings. They are pretty good. Don't even begin to think it will taste like turkey though. It has the chewy texture of tofu although more firm and less watery than most tofu. I strongly recommend basting with recommended sauces (recipe on the box) and adding additional fluid because if it dries out the outer layer gets really tough. Buy the gravy - often sold separately for extra flavor. Would recommend everyone try it! Happy Thanksgiving. Laschkewitsch RD LD Dietitian, Legacy Obesity Institute ToFurky Has anyone ever had one?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 For those who don't like tofurky, another alternative would be Quorn's turk'y roast. I really like the texture and taste of Quorn products. For information go to www.quorn.com. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! Cece Ohmart, R.D., L.D.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi , Yes, by NON-DIET I mean that I avoid clients who want to follow diets, and the ones that I see are coached into changing those habits that sabotage their efforts to lose weight. I developed my own program, and persons who make the changes are very successful with weight loss. As it goes with anything, you can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink. About the tofurkey - I don't believe I've seen it in individual servings, but this year I bet if you look in the organic frozen section you'll find an individual dinner. Buying the whole tofurkey is expensive - around $25, so if you don't like it that would be a shame. I've also not seen it at any other time of the year either, but I think things are changing and more people are choosing meatless meals. Have a happy holiday! Jacqui Jacquelyn A.
