Americans eat about ten kilograms of chicken for every kilogram they eat of turkey. It’s therefore no surprise that there are far more chicken-style than turkey-style vegan offerings. That said, as we’re about to see, there are still quite a few vegan turkey products available.
Vegan Turkey Products
Products range from oven-baked frozen turkey pieces, to turkey-style deli slices, to seasonal turkey-based feasts sold only in November and December.
Oven-Baked Products
In the United States, Gardein currently has cornered this niche by offering two excellent and inexpensive products:
Deli-Style Slices
These sliced products are ideal for sandwiches. So if you want a good turkey-free club sandwich or deli-style sub sandwich, you’re in luck.
- Lightlife: Smart Deli Turkey
- Tofurky: Deli Slices (Oven Roasted, Peppered, Hickory Smoked)
- Unreal Deli: Roasted Turk’y Slices
Vegan Turkey Feasts for Thanksgiving and Christmas
These products are intended for Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday gatherings, and are typically only sold from November through December:
- Field Roast: Celebration Roast
- Gardein: Plant-Based Turk’y Roast
- Myrtle Greens: Vegan Whole Turkey, Vegan Whole Turkey & Vegan Turkey Roll Combo, and Vegan Whole Turkey & Ham Roll Combo
- Tofurky: Plant-Based Holiday Feast
Also ask your local vegan restaurant whether they offer special takeout Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts.
