Is there a "best" way to cook it? Also, I dont know why, but I gained a little weight. Not much, but now I am thinking I dont even want meat substitutes. Does anyone else have that problem? That was really the only different thing I ate so far, but was wanting to branch out some, so I just think the weight shift was because of that.

It's not so much the taste as the texture. It's like rubbery chicken. Try another brand. I like Smart Life products. But it took time for me to forget the taste of the real thing.

I don't like to eat them often but they're totally convenient because my omnivore husband likes them. I do tend to think that eating processed foods slows down my weight loss and they are processed food. Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

OK, but wouldn't buy it again. What I DID try next was outstanding! http://www.fieldroast.com/products.htm These Mexican Chipotle sausages are wonderfully spicy and I find their texture MUCH better than Tofurkey. Found them at Safeway, but at $6.99 it was too much. They will go on sale periodically for $4.99 and then I will buy them. I've seen small packages of their products sliced like salami, but sausages are less expensive per weight. They also make small roasts, but I've never seen those. Sausages work fine because I'm only cooking for me. So I get four meals with one package. I crumble the sausage in the pan along with my veggies, and add a little extra cumin and chili powder - YUM! Next time they go on sale I'm going to try the Smoked Apple Sage.

I also don't usually care for the tofurkey slices, however...I picked up a pack of slices on Thanksgiving. Opened up the pack and wrapped it in foil with a little bit of water. When I brought it to my friend's house it only took a few minutes to heat up in the oven. The slices were so tender and delicious heated up and served with the Tofurkey gravy. And it made it so easy for me as a guest at someone else's home.
