Don't save these vegan, unique patties for the holidays - they're delicious on a crusty roll (with cranberry sauce!) or alongside a side of brown rice and veggies. If you're not familiar with nutritional yeast, it's a nutty (some would say even "cheesy"), concentrated B12 source that you can find it in most bulk stores and in almost every health food shop.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil shopping list
- 1 small white onion, minced shopping list
- 2 stalks celery, minced shopping list
- 4 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 12 oz low-fat extra firm tofu, drained well shopping list
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce shopping list
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree (not pie filling!) shopping list
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes shopping list
- 1 tbsp poultry seasoning shopping list
- 1/2 tsp sea salt shopping list
- 1 tsp black pepper shopping list
- pinch nutmeg (optional) shopping list
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries, minced finely shopping list
- 1/4 cup mashed potato flakes shopping list
- 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs shopping list
How to make it
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat until it shimmers, then add onion and celery.
- Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic (with a small splash of water if needed) and cook just until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, crumble the tofu with your hands into roughly "ground meat" texture.
- Stir in the soy sauce and pumpkin puree, then add the sauteed mixture, nutritional yeast, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix until it's all combined.
- Add cranberries, potato flakes, gluten flour and breadcrumbs and fold through well.
- Divide mixture into 6 pieces, flattening slightly, and place on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic and refrigerate 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and bring a clean large non-stick pan to medium-high heat.
- Spray the pan with non-stick spray and add the patties, 3 at a time.
- Cook for 2 minutes each side, then place back on the lined sheet. Repeat for remaining patties.
- Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Make ahead:
- Form the patties, place on lined sheets and freeze, covered, until solid.
- Transfer to a freezer bag or container, sandwiching between layers of parchment.
- To re-heat, place on a lined sheet and bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes, until hot.
- If extra crispness is desired, broil on HI 1 minute per side.
