Eat Your Veggies

Are you planning a turkeyless Thanksgiving? Or, at least considering it as an option? With my 22nd year without gobbling a gobbler coming up, I keep being asked by relatives what I am going to bring to our extended family gathering. We always do a potluck or shared meal where everyone brings something. Every category of food has been assigned–except, of course, the meat substitute. And, guess what? I haven’t decided what I want, yet.

For several years my husband and I got a Tofurky Turkey. It’s a loaf with stuffing in the middle. It doesn’t look like a turkey, despite it’s name. But, it is yummy. There is just the loaf or there is a box set with the loaf, gravy and even a “wishbone” made from their vegetarian jerky. It is a good product, but a bit pricey. Recently, for regular meals, we have consumed Quorn roast which is an oblong loaf. It is particularly good with a vegetarian chicken or beef style gravy. There are a few other options for meat substitutes on the shelves at grocery stores as well.

None of these sounds appealing to me this year, however. I truly want something different this year. Perhaps a good curry or some other savory dish. I haven’t decided, yet. I do have about five more days to figure it out, though . . . .
