Holidays

[Guest guest]

With the holiday season coming up and all the new veggies that post here, I thought I would tell you what I have for to eat for the holiday season. I get something called Unturkey made by a company called Now and Zen. It comes in a box, frozen, and is made of seitan and has a crispy "skin" on the top. It is stuffed with a vegan stuffing and comes complete with a tub of vegan gravy. I eat it with all the other goodies associated with turkey - cranberry sauce, and all those lovely veggies. It only takes about 35-45 minutes to cook and it smells and tastes wonderful. I have to special-order it from my local health store and a small one which serves 2-4 people costs about $25. I know this isn't cheap, but there are plenty of leftovers. The cold cuts are as delicious as the hot Unturkey and it makes fantastic sandwiches afterwards! They also make a large one which serves 8 people.

 

There is also another product called Tofurkey, but I have not tried this so I don't know how good it is. I like the Unturkey because it comes with the gravy and everything. The Unturkey comes in quite a large box, but we only have a regular-size fridge/freezer. I have two in my freezer now and I just take them out of the boxes and double-wrap them in foil to save space. If you want to try it, you need to order now as demand gets high and last year I left it until the end of October and nearly missed out!
