7 High Protein Organic Tofu
Sadly, Trader Joe’s discontinued its fan-favorite Breaded Turkey-less Stuffed Roast with Gravy this year and didn’t replace the plant-based protein with a similar alternative. But it turns out you might not need one anyway. Did you know that baked tofu can make a delicious plant-based roast, especially when cooked with a little oil and plenty of your favorite seasonings? Just bake a block, slice it up, and you’ll have a hearty, flavorful centerpiece that feels right at home on the Thanksgiving table.

9 Multipurpose Umami Seasoning Blend
When Trader Joe’s discontinued its roast, it also discontinued the vegan gravy that went along with it. But it turns out the chain’s Multipurpose Umami Seasoning Blend is the perfect ingredient for making your own gravy at home. Check out this recipe from Shutter + Mint for more details.
