- Slice your super firm tofu thinly. You can try this with a peeler, but I found it crumbled too much. So instead use a sharp knife to carefully and slowly slice the thinnest pieces of tofu you can. (This worked best for me).No worries if they fall apart a little - regular turkey deli meat isn't perfect either!16 oz super firm tofu
- Grab a casserole dish (I used an 8x11 but you can use a slightly larger size if needed, I wouldn't go smaller). Layer in your sliced tofu (overlap is expected).
- Pour over your broth mixture making sure each piece of tofu has come in contact with some of the broth.
- Place the dish in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until nearly all the broth has been absorbed & evaporated.
- Let the mixture cool before storing the slices in a glass container to chill.Use for sandwiches, wraps, and more!
If the boullion and the miso paste are not dissolving, warm your mixture in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.
A little liquid is fine. When you let it cool it will continue to absorb the remaining broth.
Notes
*Nutrition facts are estimations for just the vegan turkey deli meat itself, not including toppings, bread, etc.
If you use two large pieces of sourdough (about 5-6g of protein each slice), one sandwich could equate to over 30g of protein!
