00:00:12.34\00:00:15.58
Happy, happy holidays.
00:00:31.19\00:00:32.59
It's Evita Tezeno,
00:00:32.63\00:00:33.96
again in the Taste
of Paradise kitchen
00:00:34.00\00:00:36.20
bringing you
another festive recipe
00:00:36.23\00:00:38.87
to grace your
tables this season.
00:00:38.90\00:00:41.24
We have a
Cranberry Kale Cabbage Salad.
00:00:41.27\00:00:45.54
Yes, cranberry
kale cabbage salad
00:00:45.57\00:00:48.68
with a cashew dressing.
00:00:48.71\00:00:50.45
Try saying that ten times fast,
00:00:50.48\00:00:52.65
how it's a mouthful
00:00:52.68\00:00:54.25
but you're
gonna have a mouthful.
00:00:54.28\00:00:55.82
Yes, when you eat
this, it is fabulous.
00:00:55.85\00:00:58.85
Let's go to the recipe.
00:00:58.89\00:01:01.62
You need...
00:01:01.79\00:01:03.12
For the dressing, you need...
00:01:27.88\00:01:29.85
Okay, we're gonna
start off with the salad,
00:01:56.98\00:02:00.78
with the kale.
00:02:00.82\00:02:02.95
So I have started right now.
00:02:02.98\00:02:04.89
I have started
chopping some kale
00:02:04.92\00:02:06.82
but you want to
just get a bunch of it
00:02:06.86\00:02:09.19
and you want to just
chop it a little fine,
00:02:09.22\00:02:12.43
into little bite sized pieces.
00:02:12.46\00:02:16.23
You don't want to
have it all chunky.
00:02:16.26\00:02:17.90
So we're gonna
try to wilt it down,
00:02:21.74\00:02:23.91
so we're gonna put a
little olive oil on it
00:02:23.94\00:02:27.91
and sea salt.
00:02:27.94\00:02:30.78
And then, you remember,
00:02:30.81\00:02:32.75
on past episodes
what I've done is I have,
00:02:32.78\00:02:38.85
massage it
00:02:38.89\00:02:41.82
and this is what we want to do,
00:02:41.86\00:02:44.89
is massage the
kale so it gets tender
00:02:44.93\00:02:50.17
and also
00:02:50.20\00:02:54.20
it will sit down a little bit
00:02:54.24\00:02:57.17
and it makes it look
almost like it's cooked
00:02:57.21\00:02:59.27
and kale is
fabulous, kale is high in iron,
00:03:03.75\00:03:09.22
also high in calcium.
00:03:09.25\00:03:10.75
So if you're anaemic,
00:03:10.79\00:03:12.12
you need to get
more kale in your diet.
00:03:12.15\00:03:13.49
Okay, then we have
00:03:19.46\00:03:22.13
our red cabbage,
00:03:22.16\00:03:27.10
our scallions,
00:03:27.14\00:03:28.47
our hemp seeds.
00:03:39.05\00:03:42.78
Hemp seed is also
amazing, good source of calcium,
00:03:42.82\00:03:47.29
good source of protein
00:03:47.32\00:03:49.32
and it makes this
salad a little nutty.
00:03:49.36\00:03:54.83
And for our
sweetness, sweet and tartness,
00:03:54.86\00:03:57.67
we have our cranberries.
00:03:57.70\00:03:59.03
Mix that all,
00:04:03.91\00:04:05.24
incorporate all those
fabulous flavors together
00:04:05.27\00:04:07.88
and last but not least,
00:04:17.75\00:04:19.19
our walnuts which
gives us good brain power,
00:04:19.22\00:04:22.52
it's really...
00:04:22.56\00:04:23.89
The walnut is in
the shape of a brain
00:04:23.93\00:04:25.63
so it is very good for the mind.
00:04:25.66\00:04:27.66
So let's whiz up
our dressing real quick.
00:04:31.93\00:04:35.34
So we have cashews
that's been soaked overnight
00:04:43.35\00:04:49.38
and this makes
it much more creamy
00:04:49.42\00:04:52.82
and easier to blend.
00:04:52.85\00:04:54.42
We have our fresh lemon juice,
00:04:54.46\00:04:56.69
remember, no
bottle lemon juice here,
00:04:56.73\00:04:59.49
we have our olive oil,
00:04:59.53\00:05:03.37
our water,
00:05:03.40\00:05:07.34
our green onions,
00:05:07.37\00:05:10.87
fresh garlic.
00:05:10.91\00:05:15.54
We have a little maple syrup,
00:05:15.58\00:05:17.18
our turmeric.
00:05:23.25\00:05:25.19
Our turmeric
00:05:25.22\00:05:27.89
and our salt
00:05:27.92\00:05:30.56
and let's blend this.
00:05:30.59\00:05:31.93
This is a very
quick and easy recipe
00:06:01.69\00:06:05.83
that can grace your
table for this holiday season
00:06:05.86\00:06:10.93
and you just pour this
dressing right on to the salad
00:06:10.97\00:06:14.27
and mix it in.
00:06:22.21\00:06:23.81
Look at the colors.
00:06:28.65\00:06:31.85
Oh, it smells amazing.
00:06:31.89\00:06:34.52
I love kale, any kind of way,
00:06:34.56\00:06:37.39
I put it in my smoothies.
00:06:37.43\00:06:39.06
I love kale chips.
00:06:42.30\00:06:43.77
So let's plate it.
00:06:48.10\00:06:49.44
Now can you imagine this on
your table for the holidays?
00:06:52.77\00:06:57.45
And I'm being very messy
here, this is a lot of kale.
00:07:07.32\00:07:10.49
Look at the green and the red,
00:07:21.17\00:07:23.57
if you had smell-o-vision,
00:07:27.88\00:07:30.11
I know you would love
this 'cause it smells heavenly,
00:07:30.15\00:07:33.85
I just love it.
00:07:33.88\00:07:36.65
Another fantastic recipe from
the Taste of Paradise kitchen
00:07:36.69\00:07:40.89
and remember to Live Life Fresh.
00:07:40.92\00:07:43.86
Happy holidays from
Taste of Paradise to you.
00:07:50.20\00:07:52.87
The holidays are
here, everybody is excited,
00:07:52.90\00:07:54.94
we're all eating,
having a good time.
00:07:54.97\00:07:57.31
When we sit around our table
00:07:57.34\00:07:59.07
and what is one
of the main things
00:07:59.11\00:08:00.84
that sits there for Christmas,
00:08:00.88\00:08:02.21
Thanksgiving, even Easter,
00:08:02.24\00:08:04.05
whatever holiday
you're thinking about is that
00:08:04.08\00:08:06.11
big fat turkey.
00:08:06.15\00:08:08.22
Yes, we're talking
about that turkey but today,
00:08:08.25\00:08:11.02
you know, when
you eat that turkey,
00:08:11.05\00:08:12.59
you're like, "Man, is
it the best thing for me?
00:08:12.62\00:08:14.66
I don't know
what they did to it?
00:08:14.69\00:08:16.06
What hormones they gave?"
00:08:16.09\00:08:17.43
Well, now you don't have
to question that anymore.
00:08:17.46\00:08:19.09
Why?
00:08:19.13\00:08:20.46
'Cause we're gonna show you
00:08:20.50\00:08:21.83
how to make your own
Tofu Turkey here at home,
00:08:21.86\00:08:24.37
in your own place,
00:08:24.40\00:08:25.83
where now when you cut into
it and eat it with the stuffing,
00:08:25.87\00:08:29.67
you can say, "Wow, this is good.
00:08:29.70\00:08:32.01
I got it from A
Taste of Paradise.
00:08:32.04\00:08:34.01
So come over with me today
00:08:34.04\00:08:35.84
and we're gonna
put together something
00:08:35.88\00:08:38.15
that anchors that
meal there at meal time
00:08:38.18\00:08:42.35
and it's that nice turkey.
00:08:42.38\00:08:43.75
But people are like,
00:08:43.79\00:08:45.12
"Well, I know this is
a plant based program,
00:08:45.15\00:08:46.92
how in the world
you're gonna make the turkey?"
00:08:46.96\00:08:48.89
Well, like we
said, the Tofu Turkey
00:08:48.92\00:08:51.69
and we're gonna glaze it
on the top with some maple,
00:08:51.73\00:08:55.16
so it's gonna be
our maple glazed turkey.
00:08:55.20\00:08:58.00
But wait no longer,
00:08:58.03\00:08:59.37
grab your pens
and pencils and papers
00:08:59.40\00:09:00.90
or even jot it
down on your phones
00:09:00.94\00:09:02.70
or whatever device you
have and make a note of this.
00:09:02.74\00:09:06.31
Here is the simple
but thorough recipe
00:09:06.34\00:09:10.21
for your Maple
Glazed Tofu Turkey
00:09:10.25\00:09:13.92
and the ingredients are...
00:09:13.95\00:09:15.28
But then we need to
marinate to go along with that.
00:09:35.60\00:09:39.41
So all you need is...
00:09:39.44\00:09:40.78
There it is, really
simple and easy, they're like,
00:09:57.66\00:09:59.79
"Where's the chicken?
00:09:59.83\00:10:01.16
Where's the turkey?"
00:10:01.20\00:10:02.53
Well, we're gonna let
the turkey live this time
00:10:02.56\00:10:04.57
and all of them are gonna live.
00:10:04.60\00:10:06.23
Usually, it's one special turkey
00:10:06.27\00:10:07.64
that they allow it to survive
00:10:07.67\00:10:09.00
during the Thanksgiving
or a holiday season we...
00:10:09.04\00:10:11.57
Our goal is to
let all of them live.
00:10:11.61\00:10:13.34
So please don't touch the turkey
00:10:13.38\00:10:14.71
'cause we're
gonna do it ourselves.
00:10:14.74\00:10:16.08
So basically what
you do is you take
00:10:16.11\00:10:17.48
that nice little
tofu that you have here.
00:10:17.51\00:10:19.61
You all know tofu,
00:10:19.65\00:10:22.28
a block of tofu as
you see right there
00:10:22.32\00:10:24.22
and we're just
gonna crumble it up,
00:10:24.25\00:10:26.52
that's what we're gonna
do, we're gonna crumble it up,
00:10:26.55\00:10:28.22
so I've crumbled
quite a bit already,
00:10:28.26\00:10:30.99
so I'm gonna take that here,
00:10:31.03\00:10:32.36
I'll move this out our way
00:10:32.39\00:10:33.73
so you all can
follow along with me.
00:10:33.76\00:10:35.10
So we're gonna
mash it up nicely.
00:10:35.13\00:10:37.60
You could even,
00:10:37.63\00:10:38.97
if you wanted to put
this in like a food processor
00:10:39.00\00:10:41.80
and it would become even...
00:10:41.84\00:10:43.97
But you just get
in there, make a mess,
00:10:44.01\00:10:46.37
make sure that you've washed
your hands properly and then,
00:10:46.41\00:10:52.38
after you get that going,
00:10:52.41\00:10:54.08
we're going to go ahead
00:10:54.12\00:10:55.98
and add the
seasonings along with this.
00:10:56.02\00:10:58.92
So let me just, maybe,
00:10:58.95\00:11:00.52
I don't know if I
should wash, yeah,
00:11:00.56\00:11:01.89
I'll wash anyway,
then I come back to it,
00:11:01.92\00:11:04.36
so I wash my
hands, get that going.
00:11:04.39\00:11:07.06
Make sure you do it properly
00:11:07.10\00:11:08.43
'cause this is
the key to get in it.
00:11:08.46\00:11:09.90
Get in it going there
00:11:09.93\00:11:11.27
so I'm gonna take
my dry ingredients
00:11:11.30\00:11:13.10
I'm gonna put them
all together there.
00:11:13.13\00:11:16.17
So as you see, the sage,
00:11:16.20\00:11:20.04
oh, that rough sage is really
00:11:20.08\00:11:21.64
what gives it that
kick there at the time,
00:11:21.68\00:11:23.55
all of that is good
00:11:23.58\00:11:25.48
and then I'm gonna
mix these up just a tad
00:11:25.51\00:11:28.95
and I'm gonna put that in.
00:11:28.98\00:11:30.85
So this is gonna add it,
it's gonna give it that flavor,
00:11:30.89\00:11:34.62
okay, so that flavor,
00:11:34.66\00:11:36.39
you just sprinkle that over
00:11:36.42\00:11:38.69
and now what are we
gonna have to do again,
00:11:38.73\00:11:40.46
we're gonna have to work it.
00:11:40.50\00:11:41.83
Now a lot of people are like,
00:11:41.86\00:11:43.20
"Man, why you
have to work it so much
00:11:43.23\00:11:44.63
and put your hands in?"
00:11:44.67\00:11:46.00
Well, when you have a turkey,
00:11:46.03\00:11:47.37
what do you do with that thing?
00:11:47.40\00:11:48.74
You're gonna slap
it up, you beat it up.
00:11:48.77\00:11:50.67
You massage it in
and stuff like that.
00:11:50.71\00:11:53.58
Well, what's
the difference here?
00:11:53.61\00:11:54.94
We're gonna try
to do the same thing
00:11:54.98\00:11:56.34
and I could take a
little bit of that orange zest.
00:11:56.38\00:11:59.81
Give it that nice
little, nice little kick there.
00:11:59.85\00:12:03.49
Okay, so go
ahead and get that all
00:12:03.52\00:12:07.09
and then nicely
00:12:07.12\00:12:08.82
and this is gonna
be really, really good.
00:12:08.86\00:12:11.39
So you're gonna enjoy that
00:12:11.43\00:12:12.76
so time to beat
up the Tofu again.
00:12:12.79\00:12:15.86
So again, we're
gonna get back in it,
00:12:15.90\00:12:18.13
oh, man, especially
with that thyme and stuff,
00:12:18.17\00:12:21.57
it smells good.
00:12:21.60\00:12:24.31
So we're gonna mix it in
and you could be able to see,
00:12:24.34\00:12:27.44
oh, man, I'm
making a mess there,
00:12:27.48\00:12:28.81
ended up in my marinade,
00:12:28.84\00:12:30.18
but the marinade is
gonna go back on the turkey,
00:12:30.21\00:12:32.41
the tofu turkey
anyway but you can see it.
00:12:32.45\00:12:36.02
Get in, in there nicely,
I put a little bit of salt.
00:12:36.05\00:12:39.45
You can put a little bit more
00:12:39.49\00:12:40.82
if you want to
give it that flavor
00:12:40.86\00:12:42.39
but if you've noticed,
00:12:42.42\00:12:43.76
we're gonna use the
Braggs liquid aminos
00:12:43.79\00:12:45.59
as part of the marinade
00:12:45.63\00:12:46.96
which has that
nice little sodium
00:12:47.00\00:12:49.56
salty savory flavor to it.
00:12:49.60\00:12:52.03
So I want to take that.
00:12:52.07\00:12:53.40
Now, everybody,
move out the way.
00:12:53.44\00:12:56.71
You know, move
these guys out of the way.
00:12:56.74\00:13:00.11
And, marinade,
you stay over here
00:13:00.14\00:13:03.95
and this is where
the miracles happen.
00:13:03.98\00:13:07.38
Okay, this is where
the miracles happen,
00:13:07.42\00:13:08.88
I'm gonna show you what to do.
00:13:08.92\00:13:10.29
So now, you take this,
00:13:10.32\00:13:12.72
this little
mixture that you've made,
00:13:12.75\00:13:15.19
you're gonna put that
in a smaller bowl, okay?
00:13:15.22\00:13:18.26
And you're just
gonna pat it down,
00:13:18.29\00:13:19.86
just pat it down
00:13:19.89\00:13:21.26
and you get in like try to carve
00:13:21.30\00:13:25.97
or make it like
stick to the walls here,
00:13:26.00\00:13:27.90
this is gonna give you your,
00:13:27.94\00:13:30.47
your form, okay.
00:13:30.51\00:13:32.67
So I'm doing a smaller one
00:13:32.71\00:13:34.04
but you could do a
bigger one if you want,
00:13:34.08\00:13:35.54
you could do it to about
half a inch to a inch thick,
00:13:35.58\00:13:39.55
people are like,
"That's just too much tofu."
00:13:39.58\00:13:41.78
And nobody
complain when you're eating
00:13:41.82\00:13:43.15
that turkey
breast, three inches thick.
00:13:43.18\00:13:45.85
So go ahead and
enjoy the tofu here
00:13:45.89\00:13:49.66
and it's gonna be really nice.
00:13:49.69\00:13:51.79
So I'm gonna put it
all away to the brim,
00:13:51.83\00:13:55.56
this is gonna be a big boy.
00:13:55.60\00:13:58.00
This is the one that they
let roam in the soy fields
00:13:58.03\00:14:02.57
for quite a bit of
time, so here we go,
00:14:02.60\00:14:05.11
if you notice it's gonna
start to form a little bit this,
00:14:05.14\00:14:07.64
so I'm just making
sure I'm forming it nicely.
00:14:07.68\00:14:10.65
Everything should be
about half a inch thick.
00:14:10.68\00:14:13.78
And then,
00:14:13.82\00:14:16.15
you have
basically the base of it.
00:14:16.18\00:14:18.42
Now watch this.
00:14:18.45\00:14:19.79
We have to make it kind of thick
00:14:19.82\00:14:22.22
and hang in there,
00:14:22.26\00:14:23.59
you have to dry out that
tofu as much as possible.
00:14:23.63\00:14:26.66
That's crucial.
00:14:26.70\00:14:28.03
It's a crucial step there.
00:14:28.06\00:14:29.40
So this should
be the right size,
00:14:29.43\00:14:32.23
so you take a bowl
that's a little bit smaller
00:14:32.27\00:14:34.84
and just press it in there.
00:14:34.87\00:14:36.87
Now some people use cheese cloth
00:14:36.91\00:14:38.77
but if you dry out
your tofu fine enough,
00:14:38.81\00:14:41.58
it'll be fine.
00:14:41.61\00:14:42.94
So if you notice with this bowl,
00:14:42.98\00:14:44.31
I've lined it with a
little saran wrap there.
00:14:44.35\00:14:47.92
So it doesn't stick and that's
gonna help you get it out.
00:14:47.95\00:14:50.09
So don't miss out on that step,
00:14:50.12\00:14:51.49
you can use cheesecloth
00:14:51.52\00:14:53.66
if you haven't
dried it up probably
00:14:53.69\00:14:55.42
but if you dry out
your tofu properly,
00:14:55.46\00:14:56.79
it should be good.
00:14:56.83\00:14:58.16
If you notice what I'm doing,
I'm applying a little pressure.
00:14:58.19\00:15:00.70
All right, so just
think about the turkey,
00:15:00.73\00:15:03.00
you're massaging it,
00:15:03.03\00:15:04.37
I'm applying a
little bit of pressure
00:15:04.40\00:15:07.30
and then, let go.
00:15:07.34\00:15:10.57
So it's holding on there
00:15:10.61\00:15:12.67
and then it
comes out nicely, okay.
00:15:12.71\00:15:14.54
So you see that there,
it formed quite nice, okay,
00:15:14.58\00:15:18.18
but we're not done with it yet
00:15:18.21\00:15:19.55
but if it forms
really nicely along the edges
00:15:19.58\00:15:22.35
and it's nice and thick
and you just pat that in there.
00:15:22.38\00:15:25.19
So now that we have that,
00:15:25.22\00:15:27.36
we're just gonna throw
together that marinade,
00:15:27.39\00:15:29.26
so we'll take the
Braggs liquid aminos,
00:15:29.29\00:15:32.43
a little bit of
that orange juice there,
00:15:32.46\00:15:34.13
give it that nice little flavor,
00:15:34.16\00:15:35.50
maple syrup, key ingredient.
00:15:35.53\00:15:37.97
All right, so I'm gonna
put that maple syrup in there
00:15:38.00\00:15:40.74
and we're gonna use
00:15:40.77\00:15:42.10
a little bit of
that olive oil also
00:15:42.14\00:15:44.24
to get that going
and with the salt,
00:15:44.27\00:15:46.88
you can add a little bit.
00:15:46.91\00:15:48.24
If you've noticed,
00:15:48.28\00:15:49.61
I didn't put too much of
that Braggs liquid amino,
00:15:49.64\00:15:50.98
so you can add
salt to it as well.
00:15:51.01\00:15:53.48
So just gonna wash
my hands real quick,
00:15:53.52\00:15:57.92
okay.
00:15:57.95\00:15:59.35
And then let's dry this up
00:15:59.39\00:16:02.42
and then I'm gonna just
drop a little bit of that salt
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.19
in there to make sure my brine
tastes really, really good.
00:16:05.23\00:16:09.96
All right, then
I'm gonna mix that up.
00:16:10.00\00:16:11.70
All right, here we go.
00:16:15.47\00:16:17.01
So that gets going in there.
00:16:17.04\00:16:19.14
Now you can go
ahead if you have a brush
00:16:19.17\00:16:21.34
and brush it on
the inside and outside.
00:16:21.38\00:16:24.38
If you don't have a brush,
00:16:24.41\00:16:27.48
don't tell anybody,
00:16:27.52\00:16:28.85
I'll take a nice
piece of clean paper towel
00:16:28.88\00:16:31.79
and I'll just put it
all along the side here,
00:16:31.82\00:16:35.79
just really quick.
00:16:35.82\00:16:37.26
Just like a nice
little cool off there,
00:16:37.29\00:16:38.96
of course, you wanna make sure
00:16:38.99\00:16:40.33
it doesn't break up or anything,
00:16:40.36\00:16:41.70
so I'm just getting this going
00:16:41.73\00:16:43.33
'cause I'm gonna add
the flavor on the inside
00:16:43.37\00:16:45.33
and on the outside.
00:16:45.37\00:16:48.20
You all are
like, what is he doing?
00:16:48.24\00:16:49.57
This is how we do it at home,
00:16:49.60\00:16:50.94
we take some quick little
short cuts there, all right.
00:16:50.97\00:16:53.64
So now I have that
nice flavor on the outside.
00:16:53.68\00:16:57.41
Now, turkey as we all know
00:16:57.45\00:17:00.85
and we squeeze
some of that in there.
00:17:00.88\00:17:04.85
Now, turkey as we know has
00:17:04.89\00:17:07.02
and you just don't
make the turkey or whatever,
00:17:07.06\00:17:09.12
you gotta have some stuffing.
00:17:09.16\00:17:11.29
It's the stuff and
that gives it the stuff
00:17:11.33\00:17:14.30
and so we're gonna show you
a simple little healthy recipe
00:17:14.33\00:17:18.40
that you can do for the holidays
00:17:18.43\00:17:19.77
on how to make some home stuff
00:17:19.80\00:17:21.57
and this is gonna
take a little sweet turn
00:17:21.60\00:17:23.37
but it's up to you
00:17:23.41\00:17:24.74
how you want to do
your stuffing here.
00:17:24.77\00:17:26.14
So here's a simple recipe
00:17:26.17\00:17:27.94
for our Maple Glazed
Tofu Turkey stuffing,
00:17:27.98\00:17:31.68
all you need is about...
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.05
You decide what you like to do,
00:17:47.60\00:17:49.03
you want to peel it and dice it,
00:17:49.06\00:17:51.53
then we are going
to go ahead and use...
00:17:51.57\00:17:54.14
As you see there
00:18:05.01\00:18:06.35
and one last couple
of items, you need...
00:18:06.38\00:18:08.68
We all know that
cranberry gives it that
00:18:12.92\00:18:14.82
nice little sweet flavor and...
00:18:14.86\00:18:16.56
And basically, that's it.
00:18:23.47\00:18:24.80
You have your recipe
there for the stuffing,
00:18:24.83\00:18:26.97
I know there's a
million ways to do stuffing,
00:18:27.00\00:18:28.64
this is just a simple one.
00:18:28.67\00:18:30.01
You can alter it.
00:18:30.04\00:18:31.37
You can change it up,
00:18:31.41\00:18:32.74
you can put your
Taste of Paradise mix on it.
00:18:32.77\00:18:34.68
Whatever works best
for you but basically,
00:18:34.71\00:18:36.51
we're gonna go
with a simple one here
00:18:36.54\00:18:38.18
and we're gonna get started
00:18:38.21\00:18:39.55
with a little bit
of that olive oil,
00:18:39.58\00:18:41.72
get that rolling
00:18:41.75\00:18:43.08
and then we are
going to put in our onions
00:18:43.12\00:18:49.46
as we see there,
00:18:49.49\00:18:50.83
we want to saute
that a little bit.
00:18:50.86\00:18:52.19
We want to get the onions going.
00:18:52.23\00:18:53.93
You could dump it all
in but I like to at least,
00:18:53.96\00:18:56.80
get those rolling.
00:18:56.83\00:18:58.57
And then, we're
going to add the celery.
00:18:58.60\00:19:03.34
Celery definitely
needs to get going,
00:19:03.37\00:19:05.31
they're a little bit harder.
00:19:05.34\00:19:07.48
Remove that out of the way.
00:19:07.51\00:19:10.38
All right, and then...
00:19:10.41\00:19:14.02
All right, here we go.
00:19:14.05\00:19:15.42
We're gonna add some of
those delicious seasonings,
00:19:15.45\00:19:19.62
so we have that there,
00:19:19.65\00:19:23.56
sage, ooh,
00:19:23.59\00:19:24.93
it's starting to smell good.
00:19:24.96\00:19:26.29
This, you have
to do this properly
00:19:26.33\00:19:28.63
because this is where
that flavor is gonna come in
00:19:28.66\00:19:30.90
for the stuffing.
00:19:30.93\00:19:34.04
Oh, yeah. This looks nice.
00:19:34.07\00:19:35.40
A little bit of salt,
00:19:39.04\00:19:40.38
salt to taste of course,
00:19:40.41\00:19:41.74
very nice,
00:19:47.45\00:19:48.78
then we're gonna add
the rest of the ingredients,
00:19:48.82\00:19:51.55
we're gonna go ahead,
00:19:51.59\00:19:52.92
we're gonna add
those bread crumbs there,
00:19:52.95\00:19:55.12
oh, not the bread crumbs,
00:19:55.16\00:19:56.49
you know, the cube bread there,
00:19:56.52\00:19:58.13
that's gonna be your stuffing.
00:19:58.16\00:19:59.89
So you basically,
00:19:59.93\00:20:01.26
what you do is
you take the bread
00:20:01.30\00:20:03.50
and you just toast
it a little bit, right?
00:20:03.53\00:20:06.13
So you don't have to buy that,
00:20:06.17\00:20:07.50
just work with the
bread that you have at home,
00:20:07.54\00:20:09.20
you toast that a little bit
00:20:09.24\00:20:10.57
and then we're gonna add
00:20:10.61\00:20:11.94
the rest of the
ingredients to that
00:20:11.97\00:20:13.31
and then we're
gonna put in the brine.
00:20:13.34\00:20:15.44
Got the apples,
00:20:15.48\00:20:17.75
apples is not something
you always see in stuffing
00:20:17.78\00:20:20.75
but give it a little mix there.
00:20:20.78\00:20:25.59
Our liquid
ingredient, the veggie broth,
00:20:25.62\00:20:29.96
hello, you heard that?
00:20:29.99\00:20:31.33
It is going...
00:20:31.36\00:20:33.60
It's almost like a crowd,
it's that they're watching,
00:20:33.63\00:20:36.13
they're cheering us on,
with the cranberries going,
00:20:36.16\00:20:38.97
this maple syrup,
00:20:39.00\00:20:40.90
if you only have honey
or agave, work with it.
00:20:40.94\00:20:44.21
There we're
gonna get those gone,
00:20:44.24\00:20:46.54
so here we go.
00:20:46.57\00:20:48.44
So we move that out of the way.
00:20:48.48\00:20:50.38
The crowd is quiet.
00:20:50.41\00:20:52.61
They can't believe we're
gonna make a Tofu Turkey,
00:20:52.65\00:20:55.75
a healthy one at that
and we're gonna let that,
00:20:55.78\00:20:58.55
let that go just a little bit
00:20:58.59\00:20:59.92
and then I'll
add in the almonds,
00:20:59.95\00:21:02.32
I'm gonna put just
about a half a cup there.
00:21:02.36\00:21:05.63
Oh, that looks
pretty, it looks like a,
00:21:05.66\00:21:07.36
its own recipe in itself there.
00:21:07.40\00:21:09.66
And some people
love stuffing so much,
00:21:09.70\00:21:11.43
actually, that's all they eat,
00:21:11.47\00:21:12.80
they'll just make a
stuffing and eat it.
00:21:12.83\00:21:15.67
So we have the stuffing going.
00:21:15.70\00:21:17.31
It's gonna take
just a little bit
00:21:17.34\00:21:19.14
but I want to show
you something about
00:21:19.17\00:21:20.51
this Tofu
Turkey here in a second
00:21:20.54\00:21:23.35
while this stuffing gets ready.
00:21:23.38\00:21:25.38
You have a lid or a cover or
something like that, put it on,
00:21:25.41\00:21:28.28
we're gonna do
it fabulous style,
00:21:28.32\00:21:30.15
I'm just taking
whatever I have, I put that on,
00:21:30.19\00:21:32.42
pray for me,
church, pray for me.
00:21:32.45\00:21:33.86
That'll work there a little bit,
so that'll hold in the steam,
00:21:33.89\00:21:36.32
so it could get a nice
00:21:36.36\00:21:37.83
and warm and succulent.
00:21:37.86\00:21:40.86
If you notice, I put
back here this top one,
00:21:40.90\00:21:43.53
some people will take that top
00:21:43.57\00:21:45.90
and they'll put
something heavy on it,
00:21:45.93\00:21:49.90
I don't know.
00:21:49.94\00:21:51.27
They'll put this on
it or something like that
00:21:51.31\00:21:53.04
literally to give it
like some form or whatever.
00:21:53.07\00:21:55.71
Now you can do
that but the cool way
00:21:55.74\00:21:57.75
I'm gonna show
you how to do it here
00:21:57.78\00:21:59.15
is we press that in,
00:21:59.18\00:22:01.78
the key is to have a
really fine and stuff,
00:22:01.82\00:22:03.72
so we press it in,
so it will hold its form
00:22:03.75\00:22:06.19
and then of course,
00:22:06.22\00:22:07.56
you wanna leave
back a little bit,
00:22:07.59\00:22:09.12
just a little
bit here of the tofu,
00:22:09.16\00:22:10.83
why we're gonna
hold back a little bit
00:22:10.86\00:22:13.03
because this is
gonna seal our Tofu Turkey,
00:22:13.06\00:22:15.76
so give it all form,
00:22:15.80\00:22:17.13
so it's gonna be tofu
00:22:17.17\00:22:18.57
all around the
whole turkey there.
00:22:18.60\00:22:21.17
So those are some of things
00:22:21.20\00:22:23.34
but some people literally
put something heavy on it,
00:22:23.37\00:22:26.27
they leave it overnight.
00:22:26.31\00:22:27.98
I'm like, it's not that serious,
00:22:28.01\00:22:29.34
I'm hungry, so...
00:22:29.38\00:22:31.31
But to each his
own and here we go.
00:22:31.35\00:22:35.65
We have that ready.
00:22:35.68\00:22:38.42
Now don't forget
that we have the marinade,
00:22:38.45\00:22:40.69
so I'm gonna take this
stuffing that we just made here
00:22:40.72\00:22:43.76
and I'm going to
literally, fill my Tofu Turkey
00:22:43.79\00:22:49.96
and put it in there
00:22:50.00\00:22:51.57
and you're gonna add
some more of the marinade
00:22:51.60\00:22:53.37
and it's gonna bake a little bit
00:22:53.40\00:22:54.74
because we're
gonna take this now
00:22:54.77\00:22:56.10
and we're gonna put
it in the oven so...
00:22:56.14\00:22:57.71
Hello, is everybody there?
00:22:57.74\00:22:59.57
Yeah, very good, you
have the almonds flavor,
00:22:59.61\00:23:06.08
has that sweet aroma
00:23:06.11\00:23:07.52
that's coming
from the cranberries
00:23:07.55\00:23:08.92
and the apples
00:23:08.95\00:23:10.85
and a little bit
of the maple syrup
00:23:10.89\00:23:15.42
but just a tad more of that,
00:23:15.46\00:23:18.13
so I'm a savory person so,
00:23:18.16\00:23:21.33
now you have your
stuffing pretty much ready.
00:23:21.36\00:23:24.13
Now we're gonna
take the stuffing
00:23:24.17\00:23:25.50
and we're gonna
fill our Tofu Turkey,
00:23:25.53\00:23:27.44
here it is.
00:23:27.47\00:23:29.10
You know, bring that over.
00:23:29.14\00:23:31.44
And you just
basically fill it in,
00:23:31.47\00:23:34.74
fill it in, fill it in,
00:23:34.78\00:23:37.91
some say, "Fill it
up and let it overflow."
00:23:37.95\00:23:40.08
So fill it up
00:23:40.12\00:23:42.18
and then...
00:23:42.22\00:23:45.05
Make sure I get it all in there,
00:23:45.09\00:23:46.69
oh, very nice.
00:23:46.72\00:23:49.62
Make sure I turn this off
and I'm going to go ahead,
00:23:49.66\00:23:53.29
I'm gonna take a
little bit of my marinade
00:23:53.33\00:23:55.43
and pour it out
over the top of this,
00:23:55.46\00:23:57.33
maybe you could even
make a little more marinade
00:23:57.37\00:23:59.27
if you want and
now, we're not done yet.
00:23:59.30\00:24:03.14
We're going to take
now the rest of our Tofu,
00:24:03.17\00:24:06.81
people are like, "It's hot.
00:24:06.84\00:24:08.18
Let it cool down."
00:24:08.21\00:24:09.54
No, it's gonna...
00:24:09.58\00:24:10.91
It's still
cooking, this is the process
00:24:10.95\00:24:12.28
we're gonna
seal it all in there.
00:24:12.31\00:24:13.65
So I'm gonna seal
it in there nicely,
00:24:13.68\00:24:15.48
remember you want
about half a inch to a inch.
00:24:15.52\00:24:18.52
All right, and I'm gonna
seal it all the way around,
00:24:18.55\00:24:24.29
all the way around,
00:24:24.33\00:24:25.66
so now that tofu plus
the turkey will be good
00:24:25.69\00:24:28.36
and somebody...
00:24:28.40\00:24:29.73
Sometimes, you ever
hear, "Oh, tofu has hormones."
00:24:29.76\00:24:32.60
And all of that stuff,
00:24:32.63\00:24:33.97
we spent several
programs that we've done showing
00:24:34.00\00:24:36.77
how this is not so,
00:24:36.81\00:24:38.14
tofu has what is
known as phytoestrogen.
00:24:38.17\00:24:40.41
What did we say?
00:24:40.44\00:24:41.78
Phytoestrogen.
00:24:41.81\00:24:43.18
And it actually works
opposite the effect of estrogen.
00:24:43.21\00:24:46.78
So it'll be a good thing.
00:24:46.82\00:24:48.52
What is causing the
problem is the estrogen
00:24:48.55\00:24:50.15
and all of those items
00:24:50.19\00:24:51.52
that come from
the regular Tofu but,
00:24:51.55\00:24:53.25
hey, the regular turkey.
00:24:53.29\00:24:55.62
Work with me
there, so here it is.
00:24:55.66\00:24:57.73
We filled it up.
00:24:57.76\00:24:59.86
Voila, people are
like, "Wait a second.
00:24:59.89\00:25:01.66
Would just take
that now and bake it?"
00:25:01.70\00:25:03.16
No.
00:25:03.20\00:25:04.53
This is what we're gonna do,
00:25:04.57\00:25:05.90
all right.
00:25:08.80\00:25:10.14
So we let that sit there nicely.
00:25:10.17\00:25:11.57
Then we take another,
another tray like you see here,
00:25:14.38\00:25:17.91
I'm gonna put just a little
bit of olive oil over that.
00:25:17.95\00:25:22.48
Maybe a little bit
of marinade as well,
00:25:22.52\00:25:25.55
put it right on that area there
00:25:25.59\00:25:27.36
because that's where
my turkey is gonna go,
00:25:27.39\00:25:29.32
my Tofu Turkey.
00:25:29.36\00:25:31.33
All right.
00:25:31.36\00:25:33.13
Then, here's when a
magic comes into place,
00:25:33.16\00:25:36.06
voila, you put it on
it, you say, "Lord, help me.
00:25:36.10\00:25:38.77
I tried my best. Help me."
00:25:38.80\00:25:41.34
Then you take this,
you ready, everybody?
00:25:41.37\00:25:44.01
And you just flip it.
00:25:44.04\00:25:45.37
One, two, three,
00:25:45.41\00:25:47.44
and it won't even
drop because it's so full,
00:25:47.48\00:25:50.05
it's so full.
00:25:50.08\00:25:51.41
Now you pray, you
beat it up a little bit,
00:25:51.45\00:25:52.78
remember, you've
got to work that,
00:25:52.81\00:25:54.15
you've got to work that turkey,
00:25:54.18\00:25:55.75
beat it up.
00:25:55.78\00:25:57.85
You say, "Lord, come out."
00:25:57.89\00:26:01.66
And you pull some
of that saran there
00:26:01.69\00:26:04.76
to help it come out,
00:26:04.79\00:26:07.23
for they don't wanna
separate there on you,
00:26:07.26\00:26:10.20
it holds too
tight, hold that out
00:26:10.23\00:26:12.70
'cause we really
squeezed that in there.
00:26:12.73\00:26:16.57
And then
00:26:16.60\00:26:17.94
you beat it up, beat it up.
00:26:22.88\00:26:28.58
Then it doesn't want to come,
00:26:28.62\00:26:31.75
there it is.
00:26:31.79\00:26:33.25
That's why you have
to have that saran wrap,
00:26:33.29\00:26:35.42
you have to have that
cheese cloth in there,
00:26:35.46\00:26:37.53
hallelujah,
00:26:37.56\00:26:40.90
there is Tofu Turkey.
00:26:40.93\00:26:43.50
Tofu Turkey then,
you've gotta work quickly here,
00:26:43.53\00:26:46.30
you've gotta get
that marinade going.
00:26:46.33\00:26:48.60
Look at that, nicely, make sure,
00:26:48.64\00:26:49.97
that's why you
also have to make sure
00:26:50.01\00:26:51.67
that the tofu was dry
00:26:51.71\00:26:56.34
because if it gets
too wet then as a result,
00:26:56.38\00:27:00.02
it's not gonna
come out as you want it.
00:27:00.05\00:27:01.65
So you pour
that on there nicely.
00:27:01.68\00:27:03.65
You can even make a
little bit more marinade
00:27:03.69\00:27:06.45
because you wanted to
bake a little while, 350,
00:27:06.49\00:27:08.99
that's going to take about
45 minutes as you see there.
00:27:09.02\00:27:11.53
And there it is.
00:27:11.56\00:27:12.89
It is nice and thick
and then the good news is,
00:27:12.93\00:27:15.70
you're not to worry about it.
00:27:15.73\00:27:17.07
Why?
00:27:17.10\00:27:18.43
Because I have another
one already waiting for you,
00:27:18.47\00:27:20.70
so we're gonna take this,
we're gonna put this in a oven.
00:27:20.74\00:27:22.77
Let that sit
there, keep a eye on it
00:27:22.80\00:27:24.64
and then you should
be good at about 350.
00:27:24.67\00:27:27.78
Here she is, oh,
that's the bottom line.
00:27:27.81\00:27:29.81
And here it is.
00:27:33.65\00:27:35.52
I'm coming, here is,
00:27:35.55\00:27:38.19
you put a little
Rosemary on that.
00:27:38.22\00:27:40.16
Your Tofu Turkey,
and if I get a chance,
00:27:40.19\00:27:45.56
I would have cut a
little piece for you all.
00:27:45.59\00:27:47.83
Here it is, one,
00:27:47.86\00:27:52.27
two,
00:27:52.30\00:27:55.84
Tofu Turkey for me, for you,
00:27:55.87\00:27:58.74
for the whole family, enjoy.
00:27:58.77\00:28:00.11
