Tofurkey (a portmanteau of tofu and turkey) is a plant-based meat substitute patterned after turkey, in the form of a loaf of vegetarian protein, usually made from tofu (soybean protein) or seitan (wheat protein) with a stuffing made from grains or bread, flavored with a broth and seasoned with herbs and spices.1 It is often served at a vegetarian or vegan Thanksgiving meal.2
Products
UnTurkey, produced until 2006 by the now-defunct Now & Zen Bakery in San Francisco, was one of the first ready-made tofurkey products available in the U.S.3
Currently available products include those of the company Tofurky1 and the Celebration Roast produced by Field Roast.1 A variant of turducken made using tofurkey is known as tofucken.4
