Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Pierce your potatoes with a fork all around it. Wrap in aluminium foil and place on a pan. Bake in your oven for 30-40 minutes or until tender
In a small heat safe bowl, add 2 cups of boiling water, vegetable stock paste and dehydrated mushrooms. Mix until all the vegetable stock paste is dissolved. Let the mushrooms re-hydrate in the broth for about 10 minutes.
To make the gravy, chop your garlic and re-hydrated mushrooms. Add these to a pan along with your vegan butter and sautee for about 5 minutes.
Add your flour to your vegetable stock and whisk until completely dissolved. Once dissolved add your stock to your pan. Add in your rosemary, thyme, sage, nutritional yeast and soy sauce. Stir consistently until it gets to a gravy like consistency.
Once finished you can leave the gravy chunky or using an immersion blender, blend until you get a smooth consistency.
To make your green beans finely mice your garlic and add that to a pan along with the butter and diced green beans. Sautee until the green beans are tender and vibrant in colour.
To make the vegan turkey, add your Tofurkey chicken pieces to a pan along with garlic, onion, sage and water. Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
Now you are ready to construct your sweet potato. Slice each in half, long ways, like you would a baked potato. Scoop a small amount of potato out of each side to make a little pocket for the food to sit in. Add your vegan turkey, green beans and gravy to each.
