Raise your hand if you’ve heard of tofurky

In the last post, I talked about how vegetarians shouldn’t be ashamed of being vegetarians. No time of year is this pertinent than the holidays. Thanksgiving definitely isn’t just right around the corner, but as you vegetarians start making plans to visit family, etc., what you’re going to eat for those special holiday meals should be a priority.

My Thanksgiving meals usually consist of all the sides: mashed/sweet/any potatoes, green bean casserole, carbolicious breads, other vegetables and obviously the pies and other desserts. As incredibly tasty as those things sound (my mouth is watering for a month from now), not one item provides the necessary protein the vegetarians miss in so many meals.

The alternative: Tofurky.

I had Tofurky once for Thanksgiving, and I hated it. It was tough, it was weird, it was stuffed and it freaked me out. As of now I am not a fan, but I feel I can be persuaded. For others, though, the fake Thanksgiving staple is obviously high in protein as it is made of soy (full of protein).

Or, you could head to the Nov. 9 Texas vegetarian chili cook off, learn some recipes and give thanks to that in late November.
