Homemade Tofurky-like product = Dieter's Bacon
Gravy modified by Dieter from AllRecipes
1/3 C safflower oil
1/3 C flour
Mix together on low heat until fully dissolved
1 stock cube
Hot water or soy milk or Oatley cream
Add to pan, using enough water to dissolve the stock cube and adding more after it starts to thicken to maintain a creamy consistency
3T Soy sauce
3T Nutritional yeast
Black pepper (to taste)
Mix in until creamy
Stuffing recipe by Andrew
Adjust quantities to taste.
- 1 large onion
- a load of mushrooms (if you can get wild ones...)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 12-ish stalks of celery
- ~ a loaf of bread, cut into cubes
- ~1/2 cup wild rice (cook it al dente so that it doesn't explode)
- Cranberries (added by Corina)
- ~1 cup nuts (chopped, roasted almonds are good)
- herbs (sage is the classic, but rosemary's good, and oregano is my favourite, herbs de province)
- pepper
- 2-4 Tbsp miso paste (this avoids the need for additional salt, and adds an umami "savoury" taste)
- ~1/4 cup olive oil (use your better judgement - the goal is to simulate the fat that comes out of a turkey... it carries the flavours)
Instructions:
- Fry the onion, mushroom, and celery together, adding garlic at the end so it doesn't burn
- Throw in the wild rice and bread
- Combine the miso paste and olive oil with an equal part of warm water and pour over the bread+veggies (stir as you go - you want things to be evenly moist but not sloppy - adjust oil/water as needed)
- Mix in herbs, pepper
- Add nuts and wrap in alumin(i)um foil or put in a tightly lidded casserole dish and bake for a while (30 min-1 hour?).
For more adventure, you could add lots of things: coriander, fennel (in place of/addition to celery), roasted garlic, roasted squash, star anise, Chinese five spice, chilis, apple....

Sweet potato mash with caramelized pecans recipe by Kelsey
This is an original recipe that was inspired during a field season in Florida where we had a crazy oven (hence the microwave) and leftover sweet potatoes.
Microwave 2 sweet potatoes on a plate and stab them with a fork. Microwave 15 min, rotating every 5 min. Mash with a fork and add butter so it is creamier.
Topping
- Chop pecans and toast alone in skillet until brown
- Add cinnamon, salt, and agave to skillet and stir
- Cook on low for a little bit to harden the sugar onto the pecans
- Taste and add more of desired flavor
- Sprinkle on top of sweet potato mash
Cranberry sauce recipe modified by Kelsey
12oz/0.75lb fresh cranberries
3/4C sugar
1C fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4t cinnamon
Optional: add a chopped up orange which increases sweetness so you can use less sugar.
Mix juice and sugar in a pan on medium heat, add cinnamon, stir in cranberries and cook until they pop. Add the orange at the end.
