Definition: Sitcoms may joke about it, but what, exactly is Tofurky? Tofurky is the ingenious brand name of a mock-turkey product that serves as a vegetarian alternative to turkey on Thanksgiving or other occasions and comes complete with vegetarian stuffing, gravy and even a "wishbone". This is a "Tofurky roast". Although Tofurky brand mock turkeys are the most well-known, several other brands of mock-turkey are available as well.

Because Tofurky is also a brand name, many types of Tofurky-brand foods, such as deli slices, mock bratwurst and of course, "Tofurky Jurky" can be found at your regular grocery store or health food store and are certified Parve as well as vegan.
