Tofurkey?

Tofurkey?

In flitting around the internet the other day in search of possible new Thanksgiving recipes I ran across an article about substitutions for the Thanksgiving turkey. Now I realize there are folks out there who do not eat meat and that they probably appreciate a recipe idea for the holidays just like I do, but the "better than turkey" options that were listed left me scratching my head. Some were okay and rather obvious turkey substitutions, squash, pasta, and salmon being a few, but others were downright odd, such as the Tofurky. And then there was the suggestion that if your family wasn't quite ready to give up the big bird as your holiday fare than perhaps you should consider an ethical bird or shooting your own. Really, that last one would make me feel like a better omnivore how? What I am open to is getting a Heritage turkey, which is raised outdoors and has eaten a varied diet of fresh grasses and insects. They say once you've tasted a Heritage turkey with their more moist meat and rich flavor you never go back to the supermarket variety of turkey. So, that's my family's Thanksgiving fare, real turkey, from real farmers, for a very real holiday.
