Gardein’s Savoury Stuffed Turk’y great vegetarian holiday option for those who want to go meat-free or reduce their meat consumption in general. The certified vegan product features a non-GMO soy imitation meat that’s quite convincing, wrapped in a crispy coating. On the inside, the turk’y is filled with stuffing made from crumbs, onions, celery and cranberries. Saving you from having to do any cooking, the best part of this [meat-free meal option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compound-vegan-roast) is that it only takes about 30 minutes to prepare from frozen, plus it comes with a packet of [meat-free gravy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetarian-gravy) to pour over your meal.

If you’re the only vegan or vegetarian at a gathering, these two miniature roasts leave you with the perfect amount of food for a single serving, while everyone else is eating Christmas ham or authentic Thanksgiving turkey. Gardein also offers a Holiday Roast, a family-sized version of this vegan holiday meal.
