I love Tofurky but the best Thanksgiving non-turkey I’ve had was made of millet. We lived in an artist commune of sorts and two of the sculptors made it a tradition to sculpt a turkey out of millet and some sort of vegan paste. It was beautiful and exact and was the most fun I had at Thanksgiving…needed a little gravy though and then it was perfect.
We’re having the Quorn Turk’y Roast this year. We’ve had the Tofurky twice and it was fairly good but a friend told me the roast is better so we’ll see! Happy Thanksgiving!
