Vegan Turkey Roast
  1. Whisk together the dry mixture ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flavoring ingredients, then pour it into the dry mixture, mixing with a fork until combined.

  2. Add the seitan mixture to a suitable food processor, breaking it up into small chunks as you add it. Mix on high using the blade attachment for at least a minute, taking a break to rest your machine if necessary. The dough should have a taffy-like consistency when it’s done texturizing.

  3. Lightly spray a large piece of parchment paper with water, then wet your hands and transfer the dough to the paper. Spread the dough out into a rough circle about 8" in diameter, and place the stuffing in the middle. Grab and stretch the seitan ends up over the stuffing, going all the way around, pinching the seam to seal it. Press the sides a bit with your hands to shape it into an oval or loaf.

  4. Place the seitan on a corner of the parchment paper and roll it like a burrito. Wrap it again with aluminum foil, rolling it from corner to opposite corner, and then folding the flaps to seal it in order to prevent water from getting in.

  5. Steam for 1 hour and 30 minutes on the stovetop, checking water levels occasionally, or steam for 1 hour and 10 minutes on high using a pressure cooker, doing a manual pressure release when the time is up and waiting for the pressure to be at a safe level before opening. The loaf is finished steaming when the seitan dough is no longer gummy. Allow a few minutes to cool before continuing.

  6. To Make The Glaze: Add all the ingredients for the glaze to a pan over medium-high heat, stirring often, and cook until the mixture resembles syrup. Set aside.

  7. Brush the stuffed seitan loaf with melted vegan butter or oil. Wet both sides of the rice paper, then wrap the steamed vegan turkey with the softened rice paper, one for each side. If they overlap a bit, it’s okay. Place the loaf onto a lined cookie sheet or another suitable pan for baking.

  8. Brush the wrapped seitan loaf with a layer of glaze, then bake at 325°F or 162°C for at least 20 minutes, adding additional glaze every 5-10 minutes until nicely golden brown.

  9. Allow a few minutes to cool, then cut into 1" thick slices and serve with your favorite Thanksgiving sides. Enjoy!
