Yield appx 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 3

I used a package of turkey, but 2 packages of firm tofu can also be used instead. One box of stovetop stuffing- or two cups of your own stuffing. One package of portobella mushrooms
one red onion chopped
half a cup of walnuts (optional)half a cup of dried or fresh cherries, half a cup of pickled beets-chopped,two stalks of celery chopped,half a cup of carrot slivers or chopped baby carrots, tablespoon of brewers yeast, 1/2 cup wheat germ,2 eggs olive oil and or butter, cilantro, brown sugar 1\2 cup (optional)pungent cheese like white from Amsterdam (optional)1\2 cup of canned tomatoes- crushed roasted is the best- tbs of garlic- small can of black olives sliced

Steps:

Sautee onions, celery, and carrots in olive oil for a few minutes, then add mushrooms for a couple minutes, then add garlic to taste (1 tbs)and stir- then turn off burner. Turn of overn to 375. In a big bowl add tofu or turkey, 2 eggs,black olives, crushed tomatoes,handful of fresh cilantro if you have it (this is really good)parsley is also ok,also add wheat germ, brewers yeast (lots of nutrition here)cherries, beets,and handful of walnuts(great for your heart). mix thoroughly then mix in sauteed vegies when cool. Put the mix in a large lucite baking dish or several loaf pans. Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes. Its really good to add strips of pungent cheese to top and cook of last few minutes. It's also really good to top with about 1\4 to 1\2 cup of walnuts mixed with half a stick of butter. Crumble on top of loaf and also let cook for a few minutes. This is magnificient because there are so many vegatables, vitamins,and antioccidents- it's kind of like Thanksgiving in a loaf.
