Dork-made Turkey-Loaf With Stuffing!

Okay. Last night I was struck with this concept. I know its hecka hokey, but actually, I have never made a "turkey shaped thing", that seems to be the classic dorky vegetarian thanksgiving entree. So I figured I could get away with it once, right? And plus, I thought that "turkey loaf" was a hil-ar-i-ous pun, and I also thought it was funny that traditional thanksgiving turkeys are protein stuffed with bread, but I was making bread stuffed with protein. Yes. I made this pretty much JUST for the punchline. And it was worth it:

I started with a basic french bread dough:

I baked it until it had a nice thick crust:

Look at that crust!!!

Cut a whole in the bottom:

scooped the fluff out:

I processered the insides of the bread with carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, and one package of tofurkey sandwich slices:

The stuffed turkey loaf got a layer of melted EB, and was then baked again:

Re: Dork-made Turkey-Loaf With Stuffing!

susi, that is D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y not dorky.  It's really unique and looks possitively scrumptious in the way that a real turkey could never look. wink

EDA: I hate that filter.
