Instructions

Tofu Turkey:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Prep the Tofu: Slice the tofu blocks lengthwise. For best results, marinate the tofu overnight. If you're short on time, proceed directly to baking.
  3. Score the Tofu: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Using a knife, make shallow criss-cross cuts on the surface of each tofu piece, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Coat the Tofu: Place the tofu on a baking tray and pour the marinade evenly over each piece, ensuring thorough coverage.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Roast the tofu in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and crispy.

Mashed potatoes:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks for quicker cooking.
  2. Cook Until Soft: Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  3. Mash and Flavour: Drain the potatoes and mash them thoroughly. Stir in a spoonful of vegan butter and a few spoons of soy cream until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

Gravy:

  1. Prep the Veggies: Dice the onions, carrot, parsnip, celery, and garlic into small, uniform pieces.
  2. Sauté for Flavor: Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the vegetables with pepper, allspice, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until the veggies are golden brown and fragrant.
  3. Add Sweet and Savory Notes: Stir in the brown sugar, tomato concentrate, and soy sauce. Cook for about 2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  4. Simmer the Gravy: Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the liquid reduces by half.
  5. Strain and Extract: Strain the mixture, pressing the vegetables firmly to extract all their flavorful juices.
  6. Final Touch: Return the strained liquid to the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
