What is tofurkey?

Tofurkey is an alternative to vegan meat to replace traditional turkey during festive meals, although of course it can of course be consumed all year round. This product was introduced in 1995 Turtle Island Foods and it turned out to be sufficiently successful, that several companies followed. Today, Turtle Island Foods offers a range of Tofurkey products, including "Tofurkey Jurkey" and "Tofurkey Dogs", Hot Dogs made with the same formula used as the base for Tofurkey. Wheat gluten itself is usually called seitan and can be leather, stringed, hard or tasty when it is not ready, while tofu tends to have a soft consistency, even if it is ready in an extra-spectacular version. By combining these ingredients, tofurkey gets the best of both worlds, with a high content of tofu and chewing, more mass texture of seitan.
