About Tofurkey

Tofurkey is a plant-based meat alternative crafted primarily from tofu and vital wheat gluten, originating as a vegan-friendly substitute for traditional turkey in holiday meals. This protein-rich food offers a nutritious option for those seeking to reduce meat consumption or follow vegetarian or vegan diets. Typically seasoned with a blend of spices and savory flavors, Tofurkey often includes stuffing made from grains, vegetables, and herbs. It's cholesterol-free, low in saturated fat, and provides essential nutrients such as iron and calcium, making it a heart-healthy choice compared to traditional meats. However, it can sometimes be high in sodium, so portion control is recommended. Popular in Western cuisine, particularly for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners, Tofurkey serves both as a main dish and a symbol of environmentally sustainable eating practices.
