Over a decade ago, we started making our own Thanksgiving roasts, rather than relying on store-bought versions that were never really that good, but we pretended they were just so we could prove the food we ate was just as good. Admittedly, we started making our own because we missed having a traditional thanksgiving meal and did not really enjoy the ones we were having. Sure, they were okay, but we never honestly enjoyed them as much as we did growing up eating roast with the family... We especially missed having sandwiches the next day. We continued making them until we found a perfect combination that not only tastes good, and is "turkeyish" without the turkey or moral dilemma, but works great on sandwiches the next day with vegan mayo! In fact, our vegan "turkey" roasts are so good, they have even passed the taste and texture test from many non-vegetarian family members!
