Introduction
Don't save these vegan, unique patties for the holidays - they're delicious on a crusty roll (with cranberry sauce!) or alongside a side of brown rice and veggies. If you're not familiar with nutritional yeast, it's a nutty (some would say even "cheesy"), concentrated B12 source that you can find it in most bulk stores and in almost every health food shop.

Ingredients
-
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 small white onion, minced
2 stalks celery, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
12 oz low-fat extra firm tofu, drained well
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp pumpkin puree (not pie filling!)
2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
1 tbsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
pinch nutmeg (optional)
1/3 cup dried cranberries, minced finely
1/4 cup mashed potato flakes
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten flour
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
Directions
Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat until it shimmers, then add onion and celery.
Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes.
Add the garlic (with a small splash of water if needed) and cook just until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, crumble the tofu with your hands into roughly "ground meat" texture.
Stir in the soy sauce and pumpkin puree, then add the sauteed mixture, nutritional yeast, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix until it's all combined.
Add cranberries, potato flakes, gluten flour and breadcrumbs and fold through well.
Divide mixture into 6 pieces, flattening slightly, and place on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350F and bring a clean large non-stick pan to medium-high heat.
Spray the pan with non-stick spray and add the patties, 3 at a time.
Cook for 2 minutes each side, then place back on the lined sheet. Repeat for remaining patties.
Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Make ahead:
Form the patties, place on lined sheets and freeze, covered, until solid.
Transfer to a freezer bag or container, sandwiching between layers of parchment.
To re-heat, place on a lined sheet and bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes, until hot.
If extra crispness is desired, broil on HI 1 minute per side.
