Can you cook a tofurky in a toaster over???
Our landlady will not fix or replace our oven and I really would like to get and fix a tofu turkey again this year but don't know if you can cook one in a countertop/toaster oven? Any one ever tried?
Answers:
it will work the same if you have an oven setting. My mom did it last year for my sister cause there was no room in the regular oven. That stuff is so yummy...and i'm a meat eater!
Yes you can but you must check it often. Normally a
Tofurkey cooks for two hours on a low 300 degrees. Set yours on that but you need to slice it up before you cook it and cover with aluminum foil. Check it every thrity minutes..It will depend on how big amount of meat you have to cook or how big your toaster oven is of course..so just check it often and you should be able to pull it off.
Here's a quick veggie gravy recipe.
Quick Veggie Gravy
A handful of chopped mushrooms
1 celery stalk
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unbleached white flour
2 cups water
two vegetable boullion cubes
2 teaspoons ground sage
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
dash of cajun seasoning
dash of soy sauce
1) Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped 'shrooms, onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for a few minutes.
2) Add the flour and stir. Cook for another minute or two.
3) Add the water, boullion, and spices. Stir.
4) Cook for about ten minutes.
5) Let it cool.
It may not taste wuite the same, but yes, you can. Unlike animal flesh, soy products like tofurky don't require being cooked through to get rid of toxins that will give you food poisoning. Essentially, mock meats just need to be heated, not cooked. Give the toaster oven a try, I'm sure you can pull it off.
WELL YOU SHOULD E ABLE TO UNLESS OTHER WISED NOTICED ON THE PACKAGE OF IT. I'M ALSO VEGETARIAN AND TOFURKY IS THE TASTIEST!
