Ingredients:

Tofu:

• 1 block of extra firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Stuffing:

• 1 cup of quinoa, cooked
• 1/2 cup of dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup of diced onion
• 1/4 cup of diced celery
• 1/4 cup of diced mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of dried sage
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and dried oregano.
4. Place the tofu in a shallow baking dish and brush the marinade mixture on all sides of the tofu.
5. Bake the tofu for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. While the tofu is baking, prepare the stuffing. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add in the diced onion and celery. Cook until softened.
7. Add in the diced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Stir in the cooked quinoa, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, dried sage, and dried thyme. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
9. Remove the tofu from the oven and carefully cut a slit in the middle of each piece, creating a pocket for the stuffing.
10. Spoon the stuffing into the tofu pockets, filling them evenly.
11. Return the tofu to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
12. Once done, remove the tofu from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
13. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy your delicious Thanksgiving stuffed tofu!
