Mock Turkey Recipes

VEGAN TURKEY

Steps:

• Add 1 1/2 cups chickpeas, 1 cup broth, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, 2 tsp poultry seasoning, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp onion powder to a food processor or blender.
• Blend for about 30 seconds until you have a thick liquid. (It's okay if there are still a few chunks of the beans in it.)
• Pour the liquid into a glass bowl (gluten will stick to plastic) and sprinkle 3/4 cup of gluten flour over it and fold it in with a silicone spatula.
• Sprinkle the remaining gluten flour over it and continue to fold it in. Once it gets firm, use your hands to knead the dough for about 30 seconds until all of the gluten is incorporated.
• Form the dough into one large loaf and wrap it tightly and completely in foil.
• Place the wrapped "turkey" in a large steamer basket, cover, and steam for 1 hour. (You can now eat the "turkey" or you can baste and bake it for more flavor.)

• Rinse turkey under cold water, and pat dry. Place hickory chips into a pan with water to cover.
• Place turkey onto the prepared grate. Add 2 handfuls damp chips at start of cooking, then a handful every couple of hours during the cooking process.

Continue smoking until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), or keep going until the coals die out.
