Add something new to the table with the help of The Tofurky Company. Choose from a ham roast or a veggie roast for a flavorful meat-free option. The veggie roast is pre-filled with wild rice and bread stuffing and it’s ready for basting, roasting and sharing with the whole table. Dress up any of Tofurky’s products by grabbing some inspiration from its recipe page.
