Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 Yard, cheesecloth
2 tb Poultry flavoring mix
1 1/2 c -- water
1 tb Soy margarine or oil
2 tb White wine or gluten stock
2 Sheets,bean curd sheet--
-aka yuba
2 c Dressing of choice
-----GLUTEN-----
5 oz (fl) Vital wheat guluten flr
1 oz (fl) whole wheat pastry flor
1 tb Poultry flavoring mix
5 oz -- water

Mix the flours, water and flavor mix. Dough should be
firm, add more flour if it is not. Roll the gluten out
into a rectangle, place on the spread-out cheesecloth
and loosely fold edges over it to meet in the middle
(this is to keep it from getting glued to itself
during cooking). Then roll it up lengthwise (loosely
to allow for expansion).

Tie the ends and and around the middle with string.
Make sure you allow for expansion to 2-3 times its
original size.

Place this in a pot with the water and seasoning and
bring to a boil, then lower to simmering for 1 1/2
hours. Turn at least once during cooking. This can be
done two days in advance.

Prepare your dressing and remove the gluten from the
stock (which will be used for gravy). Unroll the
gluten and fill with the dressing or mound the
dressing on the baking pan and tuck the gluten around
it.

Reconstitute the bean curd sheets by soaking for 5
minutes in hot water. They'll turn white and pliable
but will be fragile. Cover the cooked gluten roll with
2 or 3 layers of this. Brush the "turkey" with the oil
or melted soy margarine between layers and on top. Mix
the wine or stock with the remaining oil ormargarine
and use this to baste thile baking. Two T seasoning
mix may be added to the stock for more flavor.

Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for 45
min to 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes. If it begins
to brown toomuch, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Carve and serve with stuffing.
