I do not heart Tofurkey. There, I said it!
Ok...let me qualify that with this: I have been following the Eat To Live plan for a couple of weeks. ETL calls very little to no added salt. I haven't missed the salt at all, as I was never a big fan. Consequently, now things that are moderately salty taste insane to me. I halved the salt called for, and then had to water down a soy-sauce based homemade salad dressing due to the overwhelmingly salty taste.
The Tofurkey was so cute! I baked it from frozen for three hours with some carrots in the foil. I was fine with the texture, but just didn't love the taste. I still am so thankful for the vegan holiday "meat" options, because it's great to have all the choices. I think I'll just stick to my veggies though!
I also ate lots of veganized favorites courtesy of mom. She made green bean casserole and dressing, both will all veg ingredients. I made brussells sprouts from Vegan Soul Kitchen.
We finished off the day with this magnificent pie from Fat Free Vegan. Yowser, it's delicious!!

Looks amazing, all of it!
I've never tried tofurkey before, but i agree that there are usually enough veggie options as it is. And those brussels sprouts would fit the bill for me..
I'm not a tofurky fan either. I've only tried there deli slices and I can't do it. Have you tried Field Roast grain meat? Great products and no soy involved. Non-vegans will even eat it.
We are not big on the salt either, when you have less you taste more of it on food, try braggs-liquid aminos as a regular soy sauce replacer, looks just like it but extremely less salt. Love the pie!
That pie looks insane good! And how awesome of your mom to veganize green bean casserole.
As for Tofurky, I like it okay...but I prefer Field Roast. I've been making that for the last few years, and it trumps the Tofurky.
I'm a Tofurkey fan, but I haven't tried Field Roast. That pie looks amazing!
This looks like my Thanksgiving, too!
I had Tofurky, and some homemade tofu vegan pie. Amazing choices!
YUMMY!
