Vegetarian Star

“I’ve had Tofurky for the last six years and I couldn’t be happier!”

—Ed Begley Jr., on what he and his family ate this Thanksgiving holiday. The actor who hasn’t touched a piece of red meat since the 70s says that although he’s been an on and off vegan since then, he’s been fully committed to the diet since 1992.

If Steve-O wanted to start writing his own vegan cookbook, he’d already have two recipes that would knock his fans’ socks off.

His ideas for breakfast and lunch were shared with The Edmonton Journal, and they’re definitely suited for the simple cook in all of us.

“Generally in the morning I make a mixture of whole grain cereal with almond milk and a slice of banana on it. And about once a day I’ll eat a whole pack of Tofurky. I love that stuff, man. I’ll just eat it right out of the pack with mustard.”

“For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey! It doesn’t sound right! It’s gonna be jiggly and weird. I’m from Texas – I’d fry a steak. We eat all casseroles and giblets!”

—Jessica Simpson, to Jimmy Fallon, according to People, on how soon to be husband Eric Johnson won’t be eating drumsticks this Thursday as he’s a vegan.

Tofurky.

FYI, Tofurky isn’t jiggly–it’s actually a firm loaf like any other prepared turkey, that comes stuffed with wild rice and bread crumbs and even vegan down to the gravy.

This Dish Is Veg has some tips for cooking the no-bird, which includes alternative methods to the ones on the box.

View the video of Jessica and Jimmy below.

“I like to stuff myself at Thanksgiving, not turkeys. Save a life this holiday season … adopt a turkey instead of eating one.”

—Kevin Nealon, from a compilation of vegetarian celebrity quotes about Thanksgiving on Farm Sanctuary’s website. Nealon’s favorite Thanksgiving meal is Tofurky and pumpkin pie. What’s yours?

Leilani Munter explained to the Huffington Post how she fuels up during race time on the track and on the road.

“Carbs are key. I like a hearty pasta with a meat-substitute. Say a Quorn “chicken” breast cut up and sauteed over pasta, lots of veggies from my garden. I eat a lot of high-protein meat-substitutes. MorningStar Farms has great products. It’s SO tasty.”

“I stock up at the grocery store — fresh produce and meat substitutes — and my garden beforehand. The rest of the team might have hotdogs in the garage, I’ll fire up my Tofurky dogs.”

It’s been said that if humans consume plants from the ground that animals raised for food eat, we’d save a lot of energy, land and feed more people. An article at Food Navigator suggests that eating the plant can also directly give you to the taste of meat–as long as there are a few adjustments made in the laboratory.

If you’ve taken the Tofurky from the freezer this morning to thaw, you’re in good company with Kristen Bell.

The actress says she loves the faux bird dinner that comes with cranberry apple dumplings, mushroom gravy, wild rice and whole wheat bread stuffing and “wishstix.”

“Tofurkey?… “It’s a faux turkey that my parents always made for me because I’ve always been a vegetarian. It’s great, you should try it!”

Of course, Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t have to be an imitation of what millions of other Americans are eating.

Remember your college days of eating pizza in the dorm when you didn’t go home for the holidays?

Are you preparing a traditional faux bird Thanksgiving dinner today?

Jones Tofurky And Gravy Soda

The Skinny Bitch gals said that “Soda is liquid Satan”, but Jones Tofurky & Gravy Soda may be a little less devilish.

The veggie turkey and gravy flavored product inspired by Tofurky can makes veggie soda drinkers happy and benefit the animal charity PAWS at the same time if the limited edition gift packs are purchased.

Each limited edition gift pack of faux turkey soda includes the following:

— 1 Bottle of Jones Zilch Black Cherry
— 1 Bottle of Jones Zilch Pomegranate
— 1 Bottle of Jones Zilch Vanilla Bean
— 3 Bottles of ToFurkey
— 1 ToFurkey Metal Lunch Box.

Yes! A lunch box!

For every pack sold, $1 will be donated to PAWS, People Helping Animals.

From the makers:

“Some people are crazy for turkey around the holidays… others not so much. For those of you with veggie leanings, Jones teamed up with the good folks at Tofurky® to bring you a meatless option.”

“We created this special soda for all you veg-heads out there. Best served with mashed potatoes and a couple of laughs, we hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it.”

The cases are available online for $11.99.

Whoever though you could have your meal and drink to the New Year simultaneously.

Ginnifer Goodwin has confirmed her Thanksgiving meal this year will be a Tofurky.

No surprise, considering she’s the spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey program.

About her recent visit to the Watkins Glen, New York sanctuary, Ginnifer said, “I grew fairly attached to a turkey named Magnolia. And there’s a badass goat who likes to play good-natured butting-heads games with humans. I dug her.’’

Every veg needs a badass goat when trying to explain to the most bullheaded meat eater why humans aren’t necessarily designed to eat animals.

Don’t forget you can have your own badass turkey for only $25 through the Farm Sanctuary Adopt-A-Turkey program.
