tofurky

Vegan holiday centerpiece

Tofurky is a brand name for a turkey-shaped roast made from tofu and wheat protein, typically served as a vegetarian or vegan alternative at Thanksgiving: We're having tofurky this year since my sister went vegan.

The word has become somewhat generic for any meatless turkey substitute, and carries mild cultural associations with earnest vegetarianism.
