Turkey Alternatives
By Barbara Card Atkinson
Intro | Soup | PETA Roast | Wild Rice

PeTa Roast
No Turkey? What are you, nuts?

What you'll need:

  • 2 tablespoons oil or margarine
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves, or an entire bulb of garlic, minced (you can find jars of pre-minced garlic in the grocery store)
  • 3 cups raw cashews
  • 1 1/2 cups bread
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  1. Cook the onion and garlic in the oil or margarine until tender, 2 to 3 minutes, and remove from heat.
  2. Coarsely chop cashews and cut up the bread to crouton-sized pieces.
  3. Add the cashews and bread to the onion, then add the vegetable stock, add salt and pepper to taste, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  4. Put half of this mixture into a small, non-stick loaf pan (or line a regular loaf pan with parchment paper).

Stuff It
What you'll need:

  • 3 cups bread cubes, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons margarine, melted but not hot
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon sage
  • 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  1. Mix together these ingredients.
  2. Put the mixture on top of the nut-bread mix in the loaf pan, and add the rest of the nut-bread mixture so that there are three layers of food in the pan.
  3. Place the pan on a baking sheet or in a larger loaf pan (in case it overflows while cooking), and bake at 400 degrees F for half an hour or until the top is nice and brown.
