Vegan Dinners When we arrived on Thanksgiving Day, he immediately led us into the kitchen where he had cut out an entire platter of large tamari-fried tofu turkey cut-outs! On the side, he had a bowl full of the leftover tofu scraps and referred to them as the "giblets." We were in stitches and he was so very pleased with himself. "I wanted to make sure you had turkey just like the rest of us!" Ingredients Tools Preparation Rinse the block or blocks of tofu under water and place on a clean terry kitchen towel or paper towels. You can leave the wrapped tofu out on your kitchen counter or in the refrigerator. Check the toweling and if it's full of water, turn it over to saturate the other side of the toweling. The main concern in doing this step is to remove as much liquid out of the tofu as possible before using the turkey cutter. HINT: It's best to do this step the night before so that all the excess liquid will drain into the toweling overnight... put it in the refrigerator if you do this this step the night before. The Turkey Cut-Outs Cut the slices evenly and on the widest angle to allow plenty of room for the cutter. These small turkeys were cut from tofu purchased at Costco and the blocks measured 3 inches by 3 inches by 1 inches. I saved the cut-out silhouettes and used them too. Fry the Tofu Turkey Cut-Outs Don't be in a hurry to flip them over... wait till the tamari starts to caramelize and then gently flip them over with a spatula.
