I'm really not trying to bombard you with contests. Seriously. But there are only two days left to enter our veggie turkey giveaway, so you better hurry! If you're the lucky winner, you'll receive—in time for Thanksgiving—four "turkey" breasts that are loaded with rice and cranberries.
Having these little prepackaged wonders delivered to your door will give you more time to get creative with your preparation. My friend Corey recommends baking them, but after I did a little more questioning, she fessed up that they can be deep-fried! Now that's right up my alley.
I have been told that you need to bring the oil to temperature before adding the still-frozen breasts. As they cook, the outside will become crispy and golden brown—an updated version of a Southern classic. I think even Paula Deen would be proud.
If you're not chosen as the contest winner, you can buy the "turkey" at most Whole Foods through January. Let me know how you end up preparing it or if you have creative suggestions for other ways to serve a faux turkey for the holidays.

I have already purchased a Turk'y Roast from Quorn. As I am newly converted vegetarian, I have never tried anything of this type. I just found a recipe for gravy on this site, so I am going to make a delicious stuffing as well as creamed cauliflower. Okay, now I am starving!

Hey, I'd really like to try this out on my family. I am trying to convert them as easily as possible and this sounds good.

I'm poor so people always are donating meat never soy or other options, but I want to convert to vegan but it doesn't work financially somehow.

I am truly perplexed as to why anyone would recommend frying these veggie turkey roasts. Besides avoiding flesh products, is it not the goal to eat more healthy foods. Fried foods are absolutely one of the worst things a person can ingest. Fried foods are bad for your skin, bad for your heart and when heated to high temperatures the oil deteriorates and trans fats can form. So, why would anyone suggest frying these roasts? Doi Doi Doi!
