TOFU TURKEY
MARINADE
Prepare Tofu
Drain tofu of all water and press tofu blocks firmly with cheese cloth or
paper towel to remove excess water.
Cut each block into desired shape:
Tofu Triangles - Turn block on side and cut into 4 1/4's. You can cut into
1/8's for thinner crispier texture. Turn back up face and cut across each
diagonal to make 4 triangles.
Tofu Strips -Turn block on side and cut into 4 1/4's. You can cut into
1/8's for thinner crispier texture or halves for thicker chunkier texture.
Turn back up face and cut in half one way and 1/4's the other way to get
strips.
Tofu Slabs - Turn block on side and cut into 4 1/4's. You can cut into
1/8's for thinner crispier texture or halves for thicker chunkier texture.
Then face up cut in half on the short horizontal to make squares.
The best preparation is to deep fry in olive or vegetable oil for a chewy
meaty texture. For a low fat option bake for 45 minutes on one side and 15
minutes on the other at 350 degrees F. Add to marinade.
Prepare Broth
Dissolve vegetarian chicken-flavored powder in boiling water. Add pickling
spices, rosemary, thyme,sage, marjoram, pepper, garlic and oil. Add tofu to
marinade and let sit in fridge for the following amount of time:
Tofu Triangles - 35 minutes Tofu Strips - 45 minutes Tofu Slabs - 1 hour
If you have cut your tofu to the chunky option you will need to add another
30 minutes to the above times. Experiment with to get the flavor to your
own taste.
The Dinner
Drain tofu from marinade and let sit for a moment to drain dry. You can use
the marinade again for a smaller amount of tofu or as a soup base or to
flavor gravy. Then Bake Tofu at 35 degrees F for 25 minutes or our favorite
option Lightly fry in pan using butter. (You can also use olive oil or your
favorite spray though the later option does not add to the flavor and is
therefore one we choose not to use at the Cheese Factory Restaurant unless
our customers request it).

NOTES : Here's our original tofu turkey recipe that will turn your friends
and family around to eating tofu.  The most common response we get from
customers when we mention tofu is ick, I tried that and it tasted bland.
This tofu recipe, like all our recipes with tofu, seitan, tempeh and TVP,
is very tasty.  You can adjust the taste my marinating longer or shorter or
adding more water. You can use your favorite gravy or our Good Country
Gravy in our cookbook "Vegetarian International Cuisine".
