Seitan Wellington sounds awesome! Not so sure if I’d be able to manage Thanksgiving for twenty either, but if I could, you’d certainly be invited. :) Hope you had a great one this year, Marty.

I love it. Although I try to keep from bringing tofu to any family function because if it’s not perfect it becomes the butt of every vegan joke out there. I went with a Seitan Wellington based on Native Foods. Hmmm, maybe I should just volunteer to do a vegan Thanksgiving for 20 next year. Or just come to your house, Hannah!

I’m sure they are delicious. I just don’t understand why someone would want to eat something shaped like a turkey. Of course it’s great that it’s not, but looking at them just makes it sadder for me about the real turkeys. Every year I make a gourmet Thanksvegan for veg and not veg who like to attend and label accordinly ie. Seitan Picatta,. I’m no fanatic and certainly have called the mock meats “veg chicken” when doing outreach, but for some reason, this is disturbing. And yes, there are animal cookies – not the same. They have been around forever.

To replace the stock powder, I’ve often used a homemade “chicken” seasoning blend instead with great results. Bryanna’s recipe is currently my favorite mixture of spices for that: http://fatfreevegan.com/blog/2010/11/01/bryannas-homemade-vegan-chicken-style-broth-powder/

As for the chickpea flour, any other bean flour such as soybean or fava bean could work instead.

Hope that helps! :)

I know this was posted eons ago, but I have some leftover cider sitting in my fridge, and this would be a perfect use for it. :)

I’m wondering if you could provide a possible substitute for the powdered veggie stock called for in the Gravy part of the recipe? It seems like it plays a crucial role in the seasoning of the gravy.

Also, as another person asked, what would be a good sub for the chickpea flour?
