The right side says to cook: 1) at 425F, 2) for 60-70 minutes, then 3) increase temp to 450 F, and then 4) cook for 10-15 minutes.

The turkey body is made of seitan (vital wheat gluten), tofu, jackfruit, seasoning, rice paper, bamboo sticks and some vegan magic. This vegan recipe is truly my greatest creation to date. Like, look at it! I'm still shocked at how much it looks, smells and mimics a turkey.

Other protein-filled vegan options that could replace turkey in your vegan Thanksgiving table are tempeh, tofu and seitan.

Provides Protein

A tofurkey (soybean) dinner serving with the same amount of calories costs $0.66 and provides almost twice as much protein.

Whole soy foods, such as edamame, tofu, tempeh, soy milk and soy nuts, are great sources of lean protein.

Intake and status of vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium and bone turnover markers were generally lower in plant-based dietary patterns compared to meat-eaters. Vegans had the lowest vitamin B12, calcium and iodine intake, and also lower iodine status and lower bone mineral density.
