Step 4
Spoon about 1 1/2 cup prepared stuffing into the center of one half. Press stuffing into dome. Place other dough half on top of dome, and press dough edges together.
Step 5
Place several cups of water in steamer and bring to boil. Wrap roast snuggly in cheese cloth, followed by aluminum foil, and place in steamer. Cover and steam for 1 hour.
Step 6
Remove roast from steamer, and remove aluminum foil and cheese cloth. Prepare baste, as described on tofurky.com.
Step 7
Place roast in a baking dish, and pour baste over it. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check roast after 45 minutes of baking to re-baste, as needed.

Ginger, Cinnamon, Cranberry Sauce
recipe by healthyblenderrecipes.com
Ingredients
- 4 cups of fresh or defrosted frozen cranberries
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger, plus more to taste * 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more to taste
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients, and on a high heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and simmer, uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until some of the cranberries have burst open, and the mixture reduces and thickens. Smash the remaining cranberries with a wooden spoon or use a stick blender to reach your desired consistency.
2. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool.
3. Chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to infuse. This tastes even better the next day.
Have a safe, happy and totally delicious Holiday!
