Is Field Roast Forager’s Roast a Viable Vegan Turkey Alternative?
With Thanksgiving only a week away, I've been trying out some new alternatives to my usual suspect for vegan turkey - Quorn's Turk'y Roast. I was a tad skeptical when I read the ingredients in Field Roast Smokey Forager's Roast - especially since a pineapple mustard glaze didn't seem in keeping ...
