You can find Seitan at wholefoods or other natural food stores and asian markets. Its showing up at regular markets. White Wave is one brand. Or you can make a simple version yourself for cheaper. Look up the many recipes on line. Bruyanna Grogan has more complex but delicious fake meat recipes with high Protein...beef, turkey, ham, duck, sausage....and product recommendations.

Notes from the Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table

I will send a slightly complex but really good turkey roast recipe to anyone that is interested in weekend cook and freeze sessions. You need a crockpot and bread maker for this one....

TVP is make from soy and works well in tacos, chili and anywhere that ground meat can go when it doesn't need to stick together.

Seitan is very good Protein wise, but we have to eat it rarely due to people in my house have gluten intolerance.

If you are not opposed to the more "processed" vegetarian fare there are tons of options. In our house we use the following Brands a lot.

 gardein - garden protein

Nates Meatless Meatballs (could not locate link for these)

You have to figure out what you like, such as we prefer the morningstar farms crumblers to the quorn crumblers, but the quorn roast is amazing in texture and taste if you spice it up. They tell you to cook it in its wrap but I don't I cook it like a regular roast with seasonings and its yum, plus most all of the products have a great Protein count per serving, without high calories, fat or carbs unless it is a breaded product, plus no or little cholesterol and you are eating guilt free since only veggies were harmed in the making of the product :001_smile:

I cook vegetarian for my family daily, so if you have any questions shoot me a PM and/or friend me and I will help as much as I can. It is perfectly possible to get a good amount of clean protein from these foods and avoid animal meat if you want to.
