Instructions for Tofu Turkey

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 1/4s. You can cut into 1/8s 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 1/4s. You can cut into 1/8s for thinner crispier texture or halves for thicker chunkier texture. Turn back up face and cut in half one way and 1/4s the other way to get strips. Tofu Slabs - Turn block on side and cut into 4 1/4s. You can cut into 1/8s 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). http://www.cookingvegetarian.com/tofu-recipes.htm From Ellen C. NOTES : Heres 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".
