Anyone just gnaw on a package of tofurky and call it a meal?

320kcal and 41g protein, I'll usually pair it with a red bell pepper and handful of cherry tomatoes. Sometimes you just aren't in the mood to cook!

that’s honestly brilliant-i just wish it was cheaper 😭

u/SalsaAddict 25d ago

Same! I only do this when I find them for cheap at Grocery Outlet, which isn’t nearly as often as I’d like 😢

29

u/fupapack 25d ago

I remember when they used to be like $2.99 😭

u/anarchisttraveler 25d ago

At my local grocery, I wait until they go on sale for $3.29 and then buy like five or six to have on hand.

i have demolished entire packages of the simple truth black forest ham in the middle of the night with my bare hands. i am not to be trusted around faux lunch meat

u/UHElle 25d ago

Oh man, I just tried it on Sunday after having it in my crisper for months and it was so good I went out and bought another packet today and had another ham sammich for dinner. I think it’s up there with the peppered tofurky for me for sure.

u/fupapack 25d ago

I have never seen this product before how does it compare to Tofurky ham?

u/Kwershal 24d ago

it has way less of the "fake" soy-y flavor tofurky has it's honestly amazing (kroger brand)

u/Mydogthinksimskinny 25d ago

Yep lmao

u/anarchisttraveler 25d ago

I like to add some tomato and pickle but absotutely

u/aboringusername 25d ago edited 24d ago

I love all of the tofurky products. My favorite little snack is a couple slices of the ham style with a bit of garlic hummus on a wasa cracker. Also a fan of the field roast deli slices, especially the mushroom and balsamic.

u/RecycledGum 25d ago

Yes, dipped in bitchin sauce. Rip sodium intake.

u/hgielatan 25d ago

I'd get a whole pack on a pubsub

u/soupyloopz 25d ago

i just found some packs of these for sale at my local kroger for $1.50, so yep! definitely going to be tomorrow's lunch.

u/kihtay 25d ago

Put it on ritz crackers. You’re welcome 🤤

u/Confident-Ruin-4111 25d ago

Wrap them around pickles and call it a meal all the time.

u/2shotsofpatron 25d ago

The turky kind is my Stand In The Open Fridge Door snack

u/nocleverusername- 25d ago

Too damn salty.

2

u/solilobee 24d ago

i like to pair tofurky with some veganaise. the great neutralizer

6

u/glorieuse 25d ago

Absolutely. Peak sodium.

10

u/Dizzy-Violinist-1772 25d ago

Just watch your sodium for the rest of the day and you’ve got yourself a great idea

2

u/extraodi 25d ago

Yeah, I’ve done that before lol.

u/leitmot 25d ago

My lazy protein is mock duck right out the can.

u/Brief_Cauliflower399 25d ago

I bring packages of this exact kind on long car trips to eat instead of protein bars from gas stations. Sure, it’s better if you do something with it, but I can totally raw dog my way through the whole package over the course of a drive.

2

u/Miserable-Bag959 11d ago

Raw Dog … gets me every time 😂

2

u/joonduh 25d ago

When i have no energy I eat a block of cold tofu with soy sauce and cayenne pepper.

2

u/punishments 23d ago

Of course I know them. They are me.

2

u/1friendswithsalad 23d ago

Yes I just gnaw through the big chonk. So good.

1

u/yuletide 25d ago

If you get bored of it cold just toast it or throw in a skillet

1

u/izziishigh 25d ago

absolutely

1

u/TheSpanishMystic 25d ago

I have done that 🫣 it's so good! How can a girl like me resist that protein?

1

u/_pm_me_your_biceps_ 25d ago

I absolutely do, lmao. Best lazy meal at work

1

u/Economy-Rate8298 25d ago

this is a go to for me when I am traveling for work. Great with an apple for an easy meal and much cheaper/more sustaining than attempting to veganize some sad hotel restaurant menu

1

u/fupapack 25d ago

Yes! In my old job I traveled for work often. Almonds and V8 ar the gas stations, hummus and a bag of baby carrots. Tofurky bricks...

1

u/frippilin 24d ago

Really wish they’d change the packaging though. Cardboard you have to recycle AND un-reusable plastic bag.

1

u/Ariella222 24d ago

I gotta have something with it, but a few pieces rolled up with a piece of violife is a great quick snack

1

u/thatgirlallie 24d ago

All the time :D

1

u/nervous_veggie 24d ago

Quorn vegan ham for me.

1

u/rahcled 22d ago

God I miss this so much. It was in Australia for a hot minute and now we don’t have any good vegan deli meat

1

u/howwonderful 22d ago

With a good sauce and a side, you’ve got yourself a solid girl dinner right there

1

u/ZazaLovesPants 21d ago

Roll it up with a slice of Violife cheez and you got yourself a lil appetizer

1

u/ov3rcastxkid 19d ago

i miss u tofurkeyyyy ( i’m allergic to wheat and semi-allergic to soy now :( )

used to make little tofurkey & arugula rolls. always delicious.

3

u/fupapack 19d ago

Love arugula. Have you tried making your own meat with lentils and peas protein?

1

u/ov3rcastxkid 19d ago

never considered it !! i’ll have to look up recipes :)

(wheat allergy has been ~15 months, and soy ~3 months, so i’m new to it. and stubborn so i was relying on benadryl for a while.)

2

u/fupapack 17d ago

u/ov3rcastxkid 7d ago

i’ll have to try if i get the chance !! (money haha). i can do soy sauce, i just can’t do stuff like bread or the full brick of tofu anymore :/ (i am lazy & cheap and miss being able to eat a full brick of baked tofu for my primary meal)

1

u/sunflowrs-n-selflove 17d ago

Try smoked tofu, it's even better imo!

1

u/Miserable-Bag959 11d ago

Smoked tofu… Is that something that you create at home or can you buy it smoked? That sounds amazing! The closest decent tofu I’ve had Out is from “crazy bowls & wraps” their grilled tofu with the little grill marks on it. I love it! I fell in love 🥰 with this place when I found out you could order tofu and steamed broccoli 🥦 from a CB&W drive-through window!!
