Vegan Turkey Loaf

[TwiPrime]

Thank you, Brian P.. You're saving my life and the lives of animals. :D

[thevegancook]

yes

once i even used a clean apron

[Louisealligevel]

can you use a normal tea towel instead of a cheese cloth?

[Bishmiya]

I made this dish for Thanks-Giving last year. It is awesome, I made my own gravy with Braggs amino acids and flour in the skillet, I didn't wrap it in the covering, but sliced it at an angel and poured the gravy over it and sprinkled with tyme. It tastes fantastic. Even the children were going back for seconds! I needed to rewatch it this year to do it again. The book on the counter with the big V is an excellent book! Any true Vegans will really enjoy this recipe and it was so much fun!!!

[eatingperson]

The glaze is ketchup and water? Really?

[ATLGCATL]

I'm sorry but that's really disgusting

[Eyeballsx317537]

This looks great! Have you ever tried putting anything inside first, such as some sort of stuffing, or rice stuffing? Thanks for your great recipes! :D

[bubblebathgrl]

I think I would put seasioned yubba on the turkey, spray with oil and bake until browned. It makes a very nice skin.

[Instrumotional]

Honey, all chicks require OILING - OIL IT!

[Pug40]

5 people who a die hard mcdonalds fans have gave thumbs down to this awesome video

[SugarMami]

Could brown mustard glaze with maple syrup b be used?

[kkimberly2004]

wow that really looked like skin! lol Waaaay more appetizing looking! love it! I just started transitioning into being a vegan a few weeks ago, so this was very interesting! thank you very much!

[VaMoneyCow]

I thought vegan meant eating no meat?

[ezopas777]

I dont know what am I doing wrong but it always becomes as a chewing gum, when I am trying to cook with gluten. Whats does nutritional yeast flake does? Is it necessary for texture? I mix gluten with pea flour. Please help me, because I bought 25 kg vital wheat gluten and now don`t know what to do :(

[kooksamurai]

cant beat real turkey, the kind that xomes from real turkey, why eat wannabe turkey? lol wanna be meat eaters lol

[bubbamittens]

@kooksamurai Tastyness without murder. lol no willpower lol

[kat72690]

is there any particular reason that you use gluten flour? Would it be ok to substitute with another flour?

[BlackSkullz09]

@kat72690 no gluten flour is a raw flour protein and when cooked it becomes a rubbery meaty texture

[stabbings]

i have had this a couple times now. SO delicious. better than Tofurky.

[madalene2012]

You explain and present very well, thank you! Gonna try do it soon! :-))))))

[erinnn222]

Is it possible to prepare this in advance and cook the next day? Or could I cook it the previous day, then just reheat it in the oven on Thanksgiving? I'd like to make this to bring to my family Thanksgiving dinner but need to prepare my dishes in advance.

[thevegancook]

@erinnn222 I do not know. if you make it the day ahead and then cook it on thanksgiving and it works (or not) let me know, I have never try this idea (clever idea, should work).

I would be careful about the reheat idea with it being hard to cool and reheat to be safe to eat.

[traveln3]

thanks so much for the details. looks delicious..

[yellowballerinastar]

How could you make this vegan? Meaning: what could I substitute the puff pastry for? I know I could make my own, but around the holidays, I just don't know if I have the time to add one more thing to my list...

[cottontailblue]

@yellowballerinastar Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets are ready made and 100% vegan:)

[JenniferGodin825]

isn't phyllo dough made out of butter and flour? wouldn't that make the turkey dish just vegetarian and not vegan?

[cvbnm2007]

I have tried today but problem is it taking too much time. Tell you some secret tip about how we Mandarin Chinese people doing this. We also love flour as Northern part of China, we have a lot ideas about how to save time and cooking better. Just cut it to small pieces, use oil and fry them will be only need 5-10 minutes, good luck.

[cvbnm2007]

why that chicken called turkey?

[Juiceboxmania89]

you keep saying its on your website but i cant find ive looked through all of them :/ its such a hassle

[Krandolph17]

sounded like a nice scratch at six mins :)

[AlinaTowers]

I've been making this roll for awhile and using it in all kinds of things. I've tried to play with the flavor a little, but that gluten flour is really overpowering. I want to find a way to cut back on the gluten flour, if possible, maybe replacing some of it with soy flour or something. Any pointers?

[lillabethsmum]

Just wanted to add you're lucky being able to buy the wheat gluten in stroes in the U.s. I'm in the U.K and there are only 3 online stores that sell it.

[lillabethsmum]

thanks for posting this. I want to go meat free but my kids love roast dinners. I have a seitan 'roast' in my slow cooker right now. Its my first time making seitan. I worry about the boiling part though, may have to but a steamer insert for my stock pot i'm worried about the water getting too hot.

I think its a lovely thing to do, prepare a cruelty free roast for your loved ones by your own hands

[LockedInLovex]

This looks SO good!! I want to try this this Thanksgiving!! :)

[Italymich]

GREAT!

[Dred1locks]

It looks very tasty. I'm going to try this recipe. I really enjoyed the video however, I wanted to see what it looks like once you cut into it.

[kareblue]

this only thing vegan homemade hmm I have not try to cook ,, after seeing this ,, simple ..looks good .. well give it a go ,, thanks for posting ,,kareblue.

[neraknerak1]

i made this last year for thanksgiving for my family. it was awesome. i am going to make it again!

[abrstargo]

Wow, that looks so good. Thank you for the video.

[xXericaroxxX]

could you please post the exact ingrediants? i would love to try this recipe!

[everydaydish]

You can find the whole printable recipe (plus over 100 others) at everydaydish(dot)tv

[HoneiiDiiva]

Thesse videos make me HUNGRY!

[KALATOREGAL]

Exellent!! IT LOOKS GREAT!! It would be nicer if you show a written ingredients list.

[anrys]

please cut and eat it at the end :D

[Linda4kidz]

thank you so much for your time and this great recipe!!!!

[porcelaincougar]

Served with a nice, vegan gravy, [with some portobello mushrooms,] mashed potato, stuffing, your favorite veggies,

fresh cranberry sauce, who wouldn't love this?

[chrisamari94]

Thanks so much! I can have something for Thanksgiving this year ;P

[camper88]

Great dish, thanks.

I'm wondering about steaming seitan, instead of boiling or simmering it. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work? I'm assuming it would be a preferred way to make it.

Any thoughts? Am I missing something?

Thanks again.

[everydaydish]

I myself steam most of of my seitans these days. I haven't tried this recipe steamed, but I can tell you that it's really good boiled.

We have a number of steamed seitan recipes on our website everydaydish(dot)tv

Thanks!

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

Do the wet works always go last?

[JakeXVX]

Are you sure "cheese" cloth is vegan? Haha, but seriously this looks awesome. Definitely gonna cut the recipe in half or maybe a bit less than that to try it out (turkey sandwiches!)

Live Vegan!

[iopener]

Looks good. Can you just bake it without boiling it first?

[thevegancook]

I have baked seitan that is only an inch thick, so Im not sure about something that big. Maybe you could bake it in a covered casserole dish with liquid.

My question is, can you deep fat fry it?

Maybe we shouldnt go there.

[JakeXVX]

If cut this recipe in half how long should i boil it for? One hour?

[thevegancook]

I have not tested a half batch, but one hour sounds about right.

[Galexia99]

Thanks so much I always wanted to know how to make the vegan turkey loaf. As always great job. Vegan4ever!!

[xvegx]

it looks sooo tasty

[cellulitelove]

i'm sure it's delicious and I would love a bite! but it looks like poo lol..

[beethovensong]

i bought tofurky this year for chritmas bcause i was so busy. never knew how easy home made really is ! awesome!!!

THANKS!!!

[jerushajerusha]

this looks so good... will def check it out and make it perhaps for christmas. good job!

GO VEGAN!

[Elzbeth333]

I've never made a seitan roast, so some measurements would be fantastic (and in my case probably very necessary)!!!

[everydaydish]

The recipe can be viewed and printed from the everyday dish website (everydaydish(dot)tv)

Happy cooking!

[magaiadancer]

Thank you. Very much appreciated. :)

[oyajiblues]

Hey Brian,

All the puff pastry dough I have found in the market has butter. Was the one you used vegan? Is it easy to find?

Christopher

[thevegancook]

Hey Christopher,

I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry.

Have a great Holliday.

Brian

[oyajiblues]

so its vegan?

[thevegancook]

Yes!

Brian

[thevegancook]

Some puff pastry doughs have butter so read the ingredients.

[ronpauldroolz]

dood. There's a reason "seitan" is spelled very much like "Satan"...

[adamp108]

you say that seitan has loads of protein but it has a very low PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) ... meaning it's not really so great.

[camper88]

Many scientists have raised critical questions on PDCAAS's validity.

The fact that 4 proteins, all with different amino acid profiles, receive identical scores of 1.0 limits its value as a comparative tool. They have different compositions, they perform differently in the body and should have different scores. In short, this method has no distinction of their performance relative to each other because after they pass a certain point they are all capped at 1.0 and receive an identical rating.

[camper88]

PDCAAS  is low value since human diets almost never contain only one protein; hence, calculating the PDCAAS of a protein based on an individual protein constituent is useless because one type may provide an abundance of an amino acid that another lacks (meaning that the PDCAAS of the diet is higher than that of any one of the constituents). To arrive at the real result, all individual amino acids would have to be taken into account. so the PDCAAS of one constituent is largely useless.

[camper88]

For example, grain protein has a PDCAAS of about 0.4 to 0.5, limited by lysine. On the other hand, it contains more than enough methionine. White bean protein (and that of many other pulses) has a PDCAAS of 0.6 to 0.7, limited by methionine, and contains more than enough lysine. When both are eaten in roughly equal quantities in a diet, the PDCAAS of the combined constituent is 1.0, because each constituent's protein is complemented by the other.

[adamp108]

Thanks...very important considerations.

What are your thoughts about the digestibility / bioavailability of wheat protein? (I believe this is referred to as "biological value" ?) What do you think about this BV concept?

[camper88]

I believe that BV comes back to the same issue of attempting to evaluate a protein based on its separation or single application in a diet, and that a protein's value needs to be understood in the context or complexity of a person's or culture's diet. Rice and/ or beans are the simple example of this.

[Imbrickle]

I'd love to have something like this work out for me, but my experiences with store bought seitan were pretty disappointing. I found the taste and texture fairly weird and unpleasant. Has anyone had better experiences with homemade seitans and simulated meats?

Usually I'm pretty happy without these sorts of foods, but it'd be great to have something that works for "turkey dinners" and vindaloos.

[Imbrickle]

Randomly, I've just recalled having a stuffed pastry with gravy on top as a vegan option at a wedding and it was actually quite nice. This might be a good alternative to turkey for other folks like me who are worried they might not like the turkey loaf above.

[jeffshubert]

Thank you so much, this look really great and easy to make!! Nicely done video!

[videogrl123]

Thanks, great timing for the holidays! I tried your cornbeef and it was GREAT!!

[ppllovingtreehugger]

And a big hunk o flesh sounds so tasty?! You meat-eaters are a weird bunch.

I don't actually mean that, you are entitled to your opinion.

[Medracin]

it's not flour like the type used in bread, it has a different texture and taste.

[Isncee]

i can at least understand where a meat-eater is coming from when she has contempt for vegans' animal rights values. i disagree, but i understand the position. but to show contempt for somebody's LIKING a certain food? i don't get it. i loved the taste of meat when i ate it, i love seitan as much as i ever loved any meat, and i seriously doubt that our enjoying the taste of this food is a good reason to be contemptuous of us.

[Mehektet]

Thank you so much for this!!!

[adriandoher]

Thank you Everyday Dish for the video! I need some help, im not from the USA and i doubt it i will find NUTRICIONAL YEAST FLAKES, and or the CHEESE CLOTH. What could i use instead? Also, can i bake the "turkey" without boiling it first? And if so, how would that work in terms of time and using the cheese cloth?

THANKS again! have a great day

[thevegancook]

I have used a tea towel for the cheesecloth.

I have omitted the yeast flakes from time to time with no ill effect.

If you bake it, use a pan with a tight fitting lid and put some water in it.

Cooking time will be about the same I guess. I would bake/cook at 300F.

Brian

[adriandoher]

Thank you very much!

[SheLuvsHerIpod]

His book, The Vegan Family Cookbook, is available on Amazon. Lots of 'normal' food the whole family will like. Disclaimer: I don't know him, just like his cookbook!

[neraknerak1]

Looks delicious. Happy Vegan Turkey Day!

[Isncee]

i'm gonna cook this so hard

[issofsar]

This looks delicious and just perfect for the holidays.
