Try this seasoned tofu as a substitute for chicken or turkey in any recipe. It's perfect in my Tofu Tetrazzini, Creamy Tofu Casserole, Layered Stuffing and Potato Casserole, or Easy Pasta Salad.
Un-Chicken Tofu
1 14-16 oz block SUPER FIRM Tofu
2 tablespoons low-sodium Tamari or soy sauce
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
It is important to use super firm tofu in this recipe. Trader Joe's sells a high-protein super firm variety and Hodo brand firm tofu also works very well. Hodo is sold at Whole Foods, Target, Publix and many other nationwide grocery chains and natural grocers. If you cannot find a high protein super firm tofu, you can press extra firm tofu for at least an hour to get a similar texture. This step is important so that the tofu will absorb the seasoning.
Shred (or cube) the tofu as shown in the photo below. Toss the shredded or cubed tofu in a bowl with all other ingredients. You can allow it to marinate for a little while or use it right away. Use in your favorite recipe in place of chicken or turkey. Try it in one of these recipes: Tofu Tetrazzini, Creamy Tofu Casserole, Layered Stuffing and Potato Casserole, or Easy Pasta Salad.
Note: Soy Curls made by Butler Foods are a great substitute for the tofu here. Half a bag of soy curls could be rehydrated and used in place of the super firm tofu.
